Mission Call!

Elder Ryan James Dixon has been called to serve in the Slovenia/Croatia Mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He will enter the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, on July 30th to learn the Croatian language and prepare for his work for the next two years.

This is David Sparks. I was browsing family blogs and saw your blog. I wanted to say hello and tell you how jealous I am of Ryan's mission call. I am 1/4th Croatian and would love to learn more about my heritage. Hope all is well with your family.

It is great to hear from you! We are excited about Ryan's call and delighted to learn that you have ancestors from there.

Hope all is well with your family.
