And he is off!

My second son, fourth missionary has begun his full time service as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  He will serve for 24 months.  I am so excited for him.

 He is ready to thrust in his sickle.

Doctrine and Covenants 11: 3 Behold, the field is white already to harvest; therefore, whoso desireth to reap let him thrust in his sickle with his might, and reap while the day lasts, that he may treasure up for his soul everlasting salvation in the kingdom of God.

 We received our first letter from Dane yesterday. He loves the training, loves the people, is so enthusiatic about the things he is learning and recognizes the great  help our stake Preach My Gospel class has been for him.  In our stake they have recently returned missionaries teach this class at 7:30 every Sunday morning.

Grateful:
680 The Lord trusts these amazing youth to represent him in sharing his gospel.
681 for the confidence of youth that willingly accept calls and jump in.
682 to live in these exciting days of hastening the work and bringing the good news to all the world
683 for the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ that contains the fullness of the gospel.
