Now let the guessing begin.
And to add a little spice to the guessing...
Announcing the "Where Will He Go Contest".
The person that guesses the closest will win, yes you got it WIN a $25.00 gift card to the restaurant of my choice. All you have to do is register your guess on this website.
Here are the rules.
Each family member is allowed only one guess.
You must be known by us, or be known by a member of our family. (Sorry to the Japanese man that is posting on the website... You just can't win.)
The winner will be decided based on Google Map.
In the event of a tie, I will flip a coin.
Good luck on your guesses.

Is this the website I am supposed to register my guess? If so, the Canada Calgary mission. Eh.
And I think the chinese guys should get a vote.
Yes this is the website Sarah. Since we have had two of Ben's friends get called to the very mission that their dads served in, then I am registering my vote for the best mission in the world, the Mexico Torreon Mission. Si Como No
Klarissa - Abroad: South Africa; US: Boston,MA
Abe - Abroad: Norway; US: North Dakota
Our first choices are the foreign countries.
My guess is Russia.
My guess is Brazil. Do I have to be more specific?
Hey Abe and Klarissa--I thought we were only allowed ONE guess...
This is Jeff, My vote is Japan
I'm willing to bet 1,000,000 to 1 odds that Ben is not going to Russia. That's right... you bet me $1.00, and I'll give you a million if he gets called there... Anyone want to take me up? Bet me $5, and I'll give you $5 million! Bet me $1,000, and I'll give you a billion! promise!
-Abe
OK the Dunn's are putting in their guesses:
Aunt Barb: San Paulo, Brazil
Richard: Omaha, Nebraska (the Lord's mission as per Jon!!!)
Richie: Pennsylvania
Jon Tenhoeve (married to Ben's cousin!!!): Tacoma, Washington
Jen Tenhoeve (Cousin): Puson, Korea
Alexis Tenhoeve (sort of a cousin):
Ogden, Utah, North
Makaylee Tenhoeve (another cousin removed): San Diego, California
It looks like you can not post if you do not have a Gmail account. So in an effort to keep everyone up to date on the guesses, Here are some that have come in via the internet or in conversations.
Bishop Russell Todd Great Lakes
Pres. Kent Collins Rio De Janiero Brazil
Rebecca Billat Brazil Londrina
Rebecca Billat Minneapolis MN
Austin Rogers Greenland
Zack Lonsdale Switzerland
Since Brazil has already been taken like, four times, I'm going to go with my next guess and say Spain. But I'll be really angry if it was Brazil! :)
Of course it will be to Kennewick Washington - our neighbors could use you Ben!
Bobbie says Wales so he can do some research for me
Rick says Buenos Aires and he has no reason
Kim and I went to the wedding of Brittany Isaksen and so we have some guesses from our Georgia connections.
John Peterson--Fargo ND
Diane Peterson--Denmark
Nathan Isaksen--Siberia Russia
Karen Peterson--Dallas TX
Sandy Pittard--Philippines
Brittany Isaksen, now Nethercott Mongolia
Aaron Nethercott--San Juan Puerto Rico
We are still missing a few...Like Kim and Jacob
Rumor has it that this Wednesday or Thursday yes this week, the week of April 12, Ben should be getting a letter in the mail. If you have not made your guess, time is going to pass you by.
Here are some guesses from church.
Chandler Newsome Ecuador
Julie Newsome Paraguay
Brad Newsome Mexico City Mexico
Alexa Corry Argintina
Nani votes Connecticut or Australia if she gets two votes.
Who are the people who started this two guesses thing anyway--ABE and KLARISSA?!?!? What's up with thinking you get two guesses??????
And now I'm going to make my prediction... I say Louisville, Kentucky. Our other two boys stayed in the good, old U.S.A., so I think Benjamin should follow suit.
Thanks for that post Abe... Love how you single me out punk. I'll bet you a dollar.
And Heather says Argentina and Austin "Dew" says Brazil.
Abe, I'll bet a penny. I'll get the Omaha Thomas family votes in shortly. I don't like that you've been publicizing this so well. Based on responses to your previous posts I thought our competition was going to be with around 6 other people, but you've gone and talked this up with everyone you've seen, it appears. Isn't this supposed to be a reward for faithfully following your blog? I think you've screwed up what seemed to be a good marketing ploy.
Oh Jacob, would you like some cheese with your whine???
Abe, I agree with Ben. I am sure you are so sure because you "thought" that they were not calling people to Russia any longer but alas, they are in fact calling missionaries again to go there. I would get nervous.
Here are some additional picks.
Sean Replogle--Scotland
Andrea Replogle--Florida
Ashley from the Chiro office -- Horizante Bella Brazil
Laurie's: Sacramento, CA
I bet Abe $1.00
And Jeff also bets Abe a separate $1.00
Money in the bank.
Got my hair cut today and my hairdresser, Suzy Duce, wants in on this. Her guess is Peru.
My guess is FINLAND! More guesses from my kids coming soon...maybe in time!
Hailey just got home and her guess is Bolivia
I showed Kate a world map and she pointed to New Zealand (only because it was pink on our map.) But I think it's a GREAT guess!
The boys are finally home from school. Caleb says Hawaii and Thadeus says Alaska. Ok - so that's it for our votes!
Jacob: Little Rock, Arkansas
Natalie: Quebec, Canada
Emma: Sydney, Australia
Luke: Santiago, Chile
