"I Hope They Call Me on a Mission"

T minus 19 days and my oldest son will be off to Argentina for 2 years to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Lots of people have asked me what he will be doing for the next two years in Argentina; so here is the explanation:

The role of missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with anyone who is interested and would like to learn more. The missionaries teach about how God has a plan for us (the plan of Salvation), and this plan provides us with a way to return back to live with God after this life. The missionaries teach about the importance of family and how families can be together forever by being sealed through the priesthood power of God. They teach about the importance of keeping our bodies clean and free from addictive substances and behaviors so that we are able to be in tune with the holy spirit and receive promptings and spiritual direction. They teach that we are God's children and that he loves us and wants us to be happy. In addition to teaching people about the church missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints also perform at least 4 hours of community service each week. In a nutshell this is what my son will be doing for the next 2 years
