Does your mission still exist?

[RC Vikings]

England London South is still rockin'!

And, as a bonus, my hometown got it's very own mission: Twin Falls Idaho Mission!

Pretty awesome to grow up in a town with 20,000 people, and in my lifetime, see it grow to plant a temple in it's front yard and snatch a mission of it's very own.

Not...too.....shabby.

I feel bad for the Elders about to be placed in Fairfield.

Mine does not. I was in the Spain Bilbao mission. Now its area has been divided in two and half given to Madrid, and the other half to Barcelona.

Did you ever serve in Wooster, Ohio?

No, but I was the DL in Canton. Alliance and Massilon were in the District.

I recognized the name immediately so don't know if it was part of the District with no Elders in the city or it was just the next District and in the Zone.

That was a long time ago.

Yeah, but it's a lot smaller now. I went to Washington Seattle. At the time western Washington had Seattle and Tacoma. Now, if I'm not mistaken there's Everett, Seattle, Tacoma, and now Federal Way and Vancouver (I assume a big chunk of that will be in Oregon).

Montreal, Canada. Looks like it still includes Ottawa but Kingston and Smiths Falls look like they are now in the Toronto Mission. Fortunately it still includes all of Hudson Bay.

The Osaka mission is long gone. Missions in Japan have been consolidating. MBN, happyone, and I were there during the golden era. It has been going downhill ever since.

Osaka merged out of existence about the time I was there.

I haven't kept track; how many are there now? Six?

With the new Tokyo South, it is back to eight now.

Bummer, just lost our Bishop.

Looks like all of Argentina is the same as when I left 15+ years ago. I didn't realize that the southern-most part of the country is part of the Buenos Aires North mission. Must be because air travel from Buenos Aires is more economical there than land travel from the Neuquén mission.

Just looked at list of new missions. It possible that parts of my mission in Oregon will be in five different missions after the dust settles. Pretty crazy for a stateside, west coast mission in <15 years.

Richmond was split and we now have the Chesapeake mission. Much easier on those in NC that drive missionaries back and forth. No more three hour drives to Richmond. Will there be a new mission President ?

[grapevine]

People are moving out of Fairfield that is why they are asking for six man football to come to Idaho. I hope our local SChool sticks with 8. In middle of TimBukTwo nearest town 40 miles away and don't want to play football with Wood River. Good snowmobiling, Skiing and Summer Rec if you don't want Sun Valley crowd in Fairfield though.

Florida Tampa still exists Orlando divided after I left. Garth Hall president there. No more changes there. Elder Cleveland gets three years of no sleep now. My old sp is finishing tenure down in Arizona as MP too. Bruce Summerhays mp of my mission. Golfer extrordinare. TWin Falls own mission now.

They did away with my mission a few years ago, and now have recreated it.

Chile Santiago South

Looks like all of Argentina is the same as when I left 15+ years ago. I didn't realize that the southern-most part of the country is part of the Buenos Aires North mission. Must be because air travel from Buenos Aires is more economical there than land travel from the Neuquén mission.

So I just went and looked at the new announced missions, which include two new ones for Argentina. One, the Posadas mission, looks to be in the north cutting into the Resistencia mission. The Comodoro Rivadavia mission looks to be south of Neuquén. Looks like they'll no longer be part of the Buenos Aires North mission.

I doubt these changes will carry any ramifications for Cuyo.

Was just reading through the new mission announcements, and Cancun is now its own mission. When I served in the Mexico Merida mission, it took in the three states of the Yucatan Peninsula (Yucatan, Campeche, Quintana Roo).

I'm assuming the new Cancun mission constitutes just the state of Quintana Roo as there's nothing geographically to add to it in the surrounding area. Cool that there's a new mission on the peninsula, but I'm actually a bit sad my mission no longer exists as I knew it.

I'm sure for some of the old timers their missions look nothing like they did at the time.

Wow. And to think my little brother just got home from the Merida Mission about seven months ago. He did serve a good portion of his time in Cancun.

This "new 58 mission" thing is getting a lot of play in the social network world. Lots of faith being promoted today. I wonder what would happen if the church decided to cut the number of missionaries per mission in half, thus doubling the amount of missions? Would we be translated ala the City of Enoch?

No new missions in Texas... I guess we all are a lost cause.

The Osaka mission is long gone. Missions in Japan have been consolidating. MBN, happyone, and I were there during the golden era. It has been going downhill ever since.

Kobe was closed and then reopened, and is currently open - I spent half my mission in what became the Osaka mission
