In our church, 19 year old boys are called to go and serve a mission for 2 years. My twin brothers turn 19 in September. They submitted their papers 6 weeks ago and have been anxiously awaiting their replies. The letters finally came so, last night, we went over to my family's house to watch them open their mission calls. It took alot of coordination, but we finally got Lisa and Trevor on the phone in Calgary, and tracked down Carly at EFY to get on the phone, too. Joel opened his call first and we were all very surprised when he read, "You have been called to serve in the Russia Rostov mission".

Then, Dallin opened his letter and read, "You have been called to serve in the Russia Moscow mission". We were all so shocked and excited for them that they get to serve in the same country, just different missions. They even leave the same day - October 24 - so they'll be in the MTC (missionary training center) together...learning to speak Russian!Dallin

That is really cool. Totally perfect situation for twins.
My brother is sending his papers in soon, too.
Too crazy that they are BOTH going to Russia. What are the odds?

It took us about 4 hours to get to Flathead Lake. It's about 40 mins south of Kalispell.
