Where in the world is Elder McGregor (going)?
Okay family, it's our turn to host the "Guess Where Our Missionary is Going" predictions. Our bishop informed us that Trent has been submitted as an elder who could serve anywhere (solid spiritually, mentally & physically). So guess away!
As always, you can choose a foreign country and an American state.

"...Behold, my joy is full, yea, my heart is brim with joy, and I will rejoice in my God. Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in His strength I can do all things..." Alma 26:11-12
