CONGRATULATIONS BRAD!!!

In honor of the call, I’ve thrown together a few quick ‘fun facts’ about where Brad will be spending the next two years. Enjoy! I’ve also posted the mission map and photos of Brad opening the call.

Fun Facts:

• Average Winter Temperature: 19 deg. F
• Average Summer Temperature: 62 deg. F
• The Canadian $1 coin is called the Loonie (named after the loon)
• Superman was created by a Canadian
• The Beaver is described by the Canadian Encyclopedia as having "had a greater impact on the history and exploration of Canada than any other animal or plant species"
• Calgary is built on the site of a dried up lake bottom.
  

If you click on the map, you can see a larger version of it. Once this larger version is up, scroll the mouse over the picture and hold it there for a few seconds. A little box with blue arrows will show up in the bottom right hand corner of the map. If you click on this, it will make the map bigger and more readable. Good luck!

Here it comes... where will it be?

Average cost of a mission: $10,000. Cost of a phone call to Canada: 1 cent per minute. The look on Mom's face: Priceless.

Wait... it get's HOW cold during the winter?!

The proud parents

Finding out about Canada (come on guys, it's Canada, how different from the US can it really be, I mean, they might as well just call it the NUSA - Northern USA)

Does anybody know how many full-time missionaries Grandma has sent out?

Enjoy it Brad, this is closest you'll get to hotties for the next two years

Bryan says, "Congrats Brad... it's not as cool as Peru, but hey, at least it's out of the country, right? I mean, Ben didn't even make it that far."

Who knows, maybe Nellie will be married by the time Brad gets home. (She will be 18...)
