    I actually posted this poll to see if there were any patterns. Also, since I'm not part of the inner circle, I'm not as clear on who went to which missions, etc.

    I wondered if there wouldn't be some patterns, but I'm not seeing anything at this point.

      I got to serve in two different countries, Guatemala and El Salvador.

          Not sure. Some say all of Mexico is N. America, some say Central America begins below the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. From what I've read there seems to be a geographic dispute.
          So Russell...what do you love about music? To begin with, everything.

            I was hoping we'd be able to come up with a continent to blame for the Apostates but they seem to be spread throughout.

              FM, I want you to know that I am visiting in Salt Lake for a few days and just a few minutes ago the possibility of getting takeout from Cafe Rio was fleetingly discussed. I vetoed the idea. I wanted to make you proud.

                Yes! One convert at a time.

                  You are in SLC? How come I'm always the last to know?

                    Wally, WashingtonCoug, and I were on the Europe-Asia border. How are we supposed to vote? We served in cities on either side of the border.

                      You guys should vote Asia I think. Culturally I think the people where you guys served are closer to Mongolians than Brits.

                      Like LA Ute, I served in 2 different countries. That's what they do with the really valiant and hard-working missionaries I guess.

                            Yeah, I'm thinking that might be what is going on there.

                            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."
