Why Write a Blog?

Inspired by a dear friend named Johnny Walker, I found great comfort in what was written in his own Blog. If we can strengthen faith, comfort, or be an example to even one person then we will have succeeded just as he did!

Called to Serve

I woke this morning to the voice of my father, "Orion your mission call is here.". 
Dear Elder Wilson:
You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  You are assigned to labor in the Spain Madrid mission.

And Labor I will.

This letter sends a range of emotions that can cause any persons head to spin, to think, to wonder.  An enormous scope of emotions ranging from fear to excitement.  But all negative emotions were swept away by the last two paragraphs of the letter which read.
Yoru purpose will be to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receieve the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.   As you serve with all your heart, might, and strength, the Lord will lead you to those who are prepared to be baptized.
The Lord will reward you for the goodness of your life.  Greater blessings and more happinesss than you have yet experienced await you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the Lord in this labor of love among His children.  We place in you our confidence and pray that the Lord will help you become an effective missionary.

What a promise that they give!!
Constantly Searching
