We received our mission call today (Thursday, June 11th). We will be serving in the Philippines, Quezon City Mission at the Philippines Missionary Training Center. Not sure exactly what that means but we will receive more information in the next few days. We report to the Provo MTC on Aug 17th.
Quezon City is the "old" capital of the Philippines. Manilla (or as Katalina says "Vanilla?!?")became the capital in 1976. Quezon City is part of the Metro Manilla area. All I have to show so far is a map of the area. I'll have pix of the temple, etc. soon.
We are very excited about our call and are looking forward to serving in the Philippines. We did say we'd like to go to Southeast Asia...
We'll post more as we get more information.

I am so happy for you both. I am very interested to hear what your duties will be at the MTC. I wish I had known about your call when I saw you both yesterday. I'm sure Windy will be so excited to hear your news when she comes home later today.
Congratulations! Mazel tov! Yahoo! Our loss is the Phillipines gain! But, how will you entertain the folks at St Marys every month?
Are you coming to Houston before you head out? Shopping? Eating? Sightseeing?
I'm excited for you both! I'm so glad you started this blog, and hope you are able to keep it up while you are on your mission.
Congrats Jones! We are so happy for you! You will be wonderful missionaries.
Jones Family,
Congratulations on your mission call. We are so excited for you. Paul has two brothers that served in the Philippines. They would be happy to talk to you if you had any questions. You are and will be great missionaries.
