Where were you called to serve? When and where do you report?
I
was called to serve in the Utah Ogden Mission. I report September 18, 2019, to
the Provo Mission Training Center.
What have you learned about
this area?
I’ve learned that there is a lot of member support and I will be doing a lot of teaching and I will probably gain a lot of weight.
What were your initial thoughts when you read where you’d serve?
I
was initially surprised that I would be serving in a place where my family
resides. I prayed about it to the Lord
and I knew that it was where I was supposed to be and I have one of the
strongest desires to go and serve there.
How did you come to your
decision to serve a mission?
I’ve
always wanted to serve my mission ever since I’ve been young and it felt right
to go leave after I graduated high school. I love my Heavenly Father and serving a
Mission is something that I can do to show my love to my Father in Heaven and
the people of the Ogden Utah Mission.
What are you most excited
about in serving?
I am
excited about the new people I will meet and being able to share what I know to
be true with others. It will bring me
joy in seeing how the gospel can really change someone’s life.
How are you preparing
temporally and spiritually for your mission?
I am
working to earn money and trying to stay in good shape. I have been reading and pondering the
scriptures everyday including study in Preach My Gospel. I have also been going on splits with the
missionary to learn from great examples.
What advice would you give to
the youth about the preparation process?
Always follow the spirits prompting and try your best to stay worthy. Don’t be afraid to share your testimony, it is one of the greatest blessings that we have as members of the church.
