Play it again Sam!  Elder Allen
When I have grown a foot or two.
I hope by then I will be ready
To teach and preach and work as missionaries do.
I hope that I can share the gospel
With those who want to know the truth.
I want to be a missionary
And serve and help the Lord while I am in my youth.

They knew their calling was from God. They prayed for His divine help, and they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their work. We have really enjoyed serving with such fine young men this past 18 months and we have grown to love them.  They are amazing examples of Christlike servants and each family can be proud of the job they are doing serving the Chuukese people doing the Lords work.

  1. That was a fun read and pictures. For us moms who were wondering about who was transfered and serving on what island that was very informative! Thanks for sharing your wonderful blog.
