Elder Matthew Roger Siemers received his mission call on October 30, 2010 to serve in the Ribeirao Preto, Brazil Mission beginning March 9, 2011 for a period of 24 months.
By the morning of March 8, 2011 Matt had finished packing, shaved off his sideburns, and was ready to go. That night at 8:30 p.m., he was set apart by President Morris of the Medford, Oregon Stake as the newest missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The above photo was taken minutes after he was set apart. On March 9, 2011 at 6:10 a.m., Elder Siemers departed the Medford Airport for the Provo, Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC).
While in the MTC Elder Siemers can be reached at the following address.
Before Matt left he set up this blog. It will be updated regularly with his latest emails and letters from the MTC and Brazil. If you would like, you can use this blog or Matt's Facebook to leave him words of encouragement and support. I'll make sure he receives all of those via email.
Check back regularly for updates. Even though Matt won't be able to "script, direct, record, or edit" this adventure, he will undoubtedly still find a way, through his letters, to entertain, surprise, and inspire us all as only Matthew Siemers can.
Good luck, Missionary Matt! We're rootin' for ya! :)
