Where in the World is Kade Going Contest!!
I've been waiting for this day for almost 19 years. We've anticipated it for Kade's entire life.
But, it still doesn't make it any easier to know we will soon be saying goodbye. Wednesday is the day Kade will get his mission call telling him where he'll serve as a missionary for our church for two years. He doesn't get to choose where he'll go. It could be anywhere from Boise, Idaho (very close to us), Florida, Greece or Japan. There are 335 missions throughout the world.
A friend (thanks, Cherie) gave me this plaque. This really describes what Kade will be doing:
Another friend (thanks, Shannon) made these cute countdown blocks to use during the time Kade will be gone.
So here's the fun contest! You can go here to see all the places that Kade could go. Choose a place (be specific) and if you're correct, you'll win a pair of my favorite Oobees slippers and a cozy blanket--just what you need to stay warm this winter. Please include your shoe size with you guess.
Here's the deal--he will open his call at 700 p.m. on Wednesday (surrounded by family and friends). Sometime Thursday I will post a a little movie so you can watch the big event too! (I've been watching them on YouTube all weekend and have been bawling my head off!) Soon after that I will post who the winners are!
We've all been guessing around here too. I put a huge Ikea map up for us to guess on.
So where do I think he'll go? I actually have four guesses--Hawaii, Panama City, Philadelphia or Mexico!! Just a mother's intuition. We'll see if I'm right!
Thanks for playing my little game! Hope you're off to a great week.
Sincerely,
Lisa
P.S. Thanks for all your suggestions on how to feel better. After 10 days of feeling very ill, three doctor visits, countless shots and presciptions, I finally went to the chiropractor (first time ever--for some reason I've always been scared to go!) and felt almost immediately better!
P.S.S. The blog posting is slow so if your comment hasn't appeared yet, don't worry. It will probably show up in a few hours!

Oh Lisa! What a blessing that Kade feels led to do this mission. I'm sure it's so tough for your family, but that plaque says it all...
I'll pick Indianapolis, Indiana since that's closest to me! LOL :)
Hope it's somewhere close to you!
Tammi C
size 7 slippers :)
Lisa,
Congratulation! Getting to this point is no small task. I was at the EXPO and you told me you had just "hit submit" Emotional! I am guessing Santa Maria Brazil. That is where my son will be going in a few weeks. I was hoping for Boise. That way I could drive there and watch him from a far...leave groceries on his door step...It did not happen. I am very excited to find out where he goes!

size 9!
I can't wait to hear the big news! Kade will be an incredible missionary for sure. And I'm glad you finally gave the chiropractor a try - life changing! I just wish it could have been Robb. ;)
India Bangladore. We had someone from our area go there recently. I hadn't heard of it before.
Best wishes.

size 10 (big, I know)
I'm going to say the Netherlands, Amsterdam mission :) Would love to have him in Scotland though!
How exciting for your family. I love the countdown blocks your friend made. She could sell those!
Lisa,
My guess is Manilla, Phillipines. We had some students stay with us for a while that had done some work there and there is so much more to do especially after the recent events. Hopefully it is somewhere closer though!
Amy J.
(size 10)
Lisa, I am going to guess Italy-Rome. Although, I hope I am wrong and that he can be somewhere in America so that he is close to you. My aunt, uncle, and cousins are Missionaries in West Africa and have been my whole life. It is hard having them so far away, but at the same time, I could not be prouder of them than I already am. I hope that you feel better!

Good luck to Kade...
I scrolled and pointed-Dresden!
Katie (size 7.5)
I hope whereever it is, it will be someplace fun! One of my favorite places in the world is Ireland, so I'll guess there.
The slippers and blanket do look nice and warm - but if my guess win, I want you to keep them. When you wrap up in them, think of Kade, and all the good things he's doing and how much you love him and how much he loves you. Kind of a hug in absentia. Can't imagine not seeing my child for 2 years, and I'm sure it will be hard, so extra hugs may help you make it through!
God Bless, Kade!
Hi...what fun this all must be for you. My guess is
Philippines-Cebu! Love the blocks.
Good Luck!

Lisa,
So excited for your family. I have a son named Kade also. He is 15 and our oldest so we have a few short years left before he goes. He really wants to go to China but I don't think I would hope that on a mother. Kind of scary so I won't guess that. I will pick Sydney Australia instead!! Size 8 slipper and I hope you get some sleep with all the anticipation.

Lisa,
What a blessing it is to have a missionary serving from your family! My parents have served 4 (10 week) missions, both in Wyoming and Utah...each one a blessing for the entire family!
I'm sure he will be called to wherever the Lord needs him. But, here is my guess...I'm going to say Long Beach, California - so all of us here can take care of your cute son!
Here's to the best two years!

Hi Lisa,
I'm going to say Spain, Barcelona...thinking that he will be using his athletic skills as part of his role as a missionary.
Hang in there!
Wendy
Congrats! It brings tears to my eyes too and I don't even know him, just know missionaries out there!
My guess is Madagascar Antananarivo, (or can I guess more?) Switzerland-Finland, or France-Belgium.
Anyway good luck to him! And you!
Size 6.5 just in case.....
My prayers are with Kade as he goes on this journey and with you and your family. My guess is Cambodia, I have no idea why. Should I win, please give the slippers to Kade to take with him and give someone in need.

Ali
Since it is in my state and near me, I will pick Louisiana, Shreveport. Such a long time to go without seeing your son. While you're proud of him, I know you and your family will miss him terribly.
Size 10 (Yeah, Bigfoot here!)
You and your husband have done an excellent job raising such a responsible young man. I can only imagine what you must be feeling seeing him start this 2 year adventure. Thank goodness for the technology today so you can keep in touch with him. My guess is his mission will be in Italy.
Best wishes to Kade and your family!
(Size 8)
If Kade comes to Nashville, TN I'll go leave groceries on his doorstep for you. He sounds like a very special young man.
If not Nashville, maybe somewhere in Germany, we saw missionaries when we lived there.
Phyllis (9 1/2)
My guess is Virginia, Richmond!
Russia Vladivostok
I say this because my former boss is the current mission president there and I know Kade would be in good hands. :)

I betting with all the travel your family has done he will be called outside of the country. I am thinking the Phillapines. (spelling...)
have fun on Wednesday celebrating with your family.
ps. Size 8.5
I'm going to guess Washington, Everett mission. It seems we have a lot of young men from Utah. I would most definitely have him over for dinner when he serves in our area! :D
Size 8.5
I'm guessing Ireland- Dublin, 'cause that's where I'm from! I hope it's somewhere closer to you, because I imagine it'll be just as hard from him to leave you as it will be for you to see him go. I'm from a different faith, but reading up on these missions I have great respect for the young people who give up two years of their lives in for the benefit of others. Will be thinking of your family on Wednesday.
My guess is North German. Your son will be one good lookin' missionary! I know it's a big milestone....but your family will be blessed.
Just for fun I have to say the Missouri Independence Mission!!:) Seriously I was thinking about Kade the other day and I thought it would be fitting considering how I met you!!
I love those missionary blocks and will have to have some when Jackson heads out.

I'm gonna guess somewhere deep in the heart of Texas...how about Brownsville, TX? He'll need to know some Spanish (and tell him it's close to the beach!)

Lisa,
I wish I new what to say to help for when he leaves. It is hard enough when they go off to college as mine did even if we are able to see them as they are just a few hours away. It is never the same having them not in the house. I have a nephew in Iraq right now also and I can not tell you how we feel every night praying for his return next year.
So my heart goes out to you. Hang in there.
I hope he goes to Tokyo Japan so you can go see him and see Makiko and maybe take him to their restraunt. You had a great time where so wow going back would be great.
I will check back to see where he is going. Where ever he goes he is in good hands and we all thank you for what he is about to do.
Take care lisa.
Terri E (aka Makiko's mom )
I'll choose my country New Zealand, if he does get this then he will enjoy it and learn so much.
But still doesnt help that you have to send him away.
I am going to say "southeast Wisconsin - Elkhorn, Delavan, Lake Geneva area". I have seen missionaries in our town and figure why not guess here?
Size 10
P.S. - I hate the fact that my son is in college and I only see him weekends. I can not imagine two years!!!
Paris, France. My brother went there and LOVED it! I know emotions are high, but how EXCITING to watch your son make the best choice of his life-to serve the church. Good Luck to you and him.
(size 9)
Lisa, I will pray for you and your somewhat empty nest! You must be so proud of him!

Lisa,

Wishing Kade all the best.
Shoe size 8.
Julie.
Lisa, I will Campinas, Brazil. That is where my son served his mission. I often thought that having him serve a mission was a leap of faith, for him it meant going somewhere he ahd never been and just jumping right in. FOr me it meant a leap of faith to send my only son thousands of miles away and having faith that he would be taken care of. I always said that it was the "Best-Worst" thing I ever did. THe best because I knew that he was doing what he should be doing and the worst because I missed him more than I ever thought I could. I was SO proud, but felt amiss while he was gone. May God bless your boy and your family!
I'm gonna say FIGI
I can't imagine the mix of emotions you're feeling right now, pride, sadness, happiness, fear, excitement... I hope the time passes quickly for you (but less quickly for Kade, so he can really live in the moment for his time in his mission)
My guess is France Toulouse (but where ever he ends up I hope it is fulfilling for him and for the people he serves)

I can't imagine not seeing my child for two years. I will be praying for you and for all the other families who are sending their kids off. Exciting adventure for them, totally different as a parent. Oklahoma City - not sure why, I lived there for a bit so maybe I am just being nostalgic. Size 9

Hi Lisa,
I will say that he will be lucky enough to come to Orange County, California. It is time to enjoy some beautiful weather for your son; he will love it!!!! Then, you it will give you all a great excuse for a fabulous family vacation while you are 'checking' on him. Come see me when it happens!!!! Enjoy, Natalie Wait Hiebert
What a wonderful day you will have. My twin sons just recently returned from their missions in 2 different areas of Brazil. "Mom" you will be so blessed.

My guess would be Korea -- K for Kade. Sorry it is so far away.
What an amazing journey he will be on. You will have the strength to survive.

Great picture of Kade! Glad you are feeling better! I assumed since you get Massages you've been to a chiropractor. I used to work for a husband and wife and now they are Joey's Godparents!
Central America it is!!!!
My son is serving in McAllen Texas, so that's my guess! My emotions come to the surface as I watch you experience the same things we were experiencing just over a year ago. My advice to you from one missionary mom to another...join the missionary mom email group as soon as you find out where he is going! It was SO helpful to me, especially as we made all the missionary preparations!! Good Luck! - Linda
Hope it works out closer than my guess, but I'm going with Shreveport, Louisiana.
Carrie in Texas

My guess is Haiti. Good luck Kade!

I can't believe it is time! I love those plaques. I am going to have to "lift" that idea for gifts.
Enjoy your day tom. This day is just as much about you as parents and it is for him. What an accomplishment!
Hugs!

I spent a year as an exchange student near Brussels, Belgium, so I'll pick there since the people I met have a special place in my heart.
