"Called to Serve"


The hymn "Called to Serve" when sung, particularly by missionaries, brings with it powerful emotions and the Spirit like few other hymns.  Last night at the General Authority Tuesday Night Devotional was the first time this week all 2,200+ missionaries at the Provo MTC met together. As is tradition, the meeting was opened with the hymn. It was more powerful and moving than ever. It's one thing to hear it sung, but another to be included among the missionaries singing it at the MTC. The experience will never be forgotten. 

Above is a picture of us sitting in the MTC courtyard during our lunch break from classes and role-playing.

Leaving Family Behind

We are blessed to have a strong family that is supportive of us serving a mission.  We have faith the Lord will bless all of them in our absence.  And thank goodness for FaceTime and Vonage!
