Pick Your Missionary:
This link will take you to a document with a list of missionaries to represent. Please write your name next to the missionary you pick so we represent as many as possible and don’t have unintentional doubles. Of course, you can collaborate on a single missionary with another person if you choose and put both of your names next to theirs. Message us @aubreyamundson or @kurtisamundson if you are willing to prepare a three minute presentation on your missionary (approx. 100 words) to share with our group.
Please RSVP by July 3 so we can plan accordingly. Use this form to submit your name and select a missionary to share about: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10tluMGOi-O_fgqk6rgboTViyI801KM-bUI4OUbXYAKE/edit?usp=sharing
