Where is Josh going?

Before Josh receives his call I thought it would only be appropriate that there be some place where everyone can go and guess where he is going. Please add your guess as a comment to this post. (I still need a little more time before I put my own guess as well). We'll announce the winner after he receives his call :).

Josh submitted his papers!

Last night around midnight Josh finally completed his papers! Now it is just a waiting game for the Bishop and the Stake President to submit their parts, and then a few weeks for one of the Apostles to issue Josh his mission assignment.

Josh's favorite missionary scripture

This is one of Josh's favorite missionary scriptures. I could not name the blog by the entire quote so I thought it only fitting to make a post.

"I am called of God. My authority is above that of the kings of the earth. By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord, Jesus Christ. He is my Master and He has chosen me to represent Him. To stand in His Place, to say and do what He himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me. My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts, my words are His words and my doctrine is His doctrine. My commissionis to do what He wants done, to say what He wants said, to be a livingmodern witness in word and deed - of the divinity of His great and marvelous latter-day work. How GREAT is my CALLING."

Josh's mission blog

This is the official mission blog for Joshua Morgan Hickey. I, Johnny (his brother), will document his extraordinary journey of service for the Lord in whatever part of the world he will go. This will be like a scrapbook for Josh for when he gets home, and a place where family and friends can come and see his weekly updates, stories, and pictures. Josh we all wish you the best of luck and know you will be a great missionary!
