MISSION CALL

 Elder Oliver Scott Smith

8898 S Cameo Way

Sandy, UT 84093

Dear Elder Smith:

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

You have been recommended as one worthy to represent the Lord as a minister of the restored gospel of Jesus

Christ. You will be an official representative of the Church. As such, you will be expected to maintain the

highest standards of conduct and appearance, keep the commandments, and follow the counsel of your mission

president. As you devote your time and attention to serving the Lord, leaving behind all other personal affairs,

the Lord will bless you with increased knowledge and testimony of Jesus Christ and His restored gospel.

Your purpose will be to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through

faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and

enduring to the end. As you serve with all your heart, might, mind, and strength, the Lord will lead you to

those who will hear His message.

You are assigned to labor in the Arizona Tucson Mission and will prepare to preach the gospel in the English

language. You will begin your missionary service with online training starting Monday, January 24, 2022,

after being set apart by your stake president. Please see the Missionary Portal for additional information on

your training experience. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 24 months.

Our Heavenly Father will reward you for the goodness of your life. Greater blessings and more joy 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 our confidence in you and pray that the Lord will help you become an effective missionary.


Sincerely,


President

  hey everyone! I wanted to take the time and write a legit email for you all bc I've been flakey. However the work hasn't been flakey. We've had so many cool things happen! We see miracles everyday. We found this guy named Ian at Chick-fil-A one night when we were eating dinner. Since we're ysa, we have activities on the daily! Ian was able to come to activities and meet a bunch of homies! He runs a 4:06 mile!  We get to go to the temple with our friend Robert this week! He just got baptized on Christmas and we're already going to the temple so I'm so hyped for him!  We've also been finding so many people on facebook and we found this guy who came to church after one invite haha. So dope.  We did service for this state park and it was in these camp grounds. It made me probably the trunkiest I've been on my mission yet. The smell of campfire next to these beautiful mountains. That's where it's at haha.  I got to see Elder Kjar at mlc this week so...

  hey everyone! to be honest. this week was just not it. I was lowkey depressed this whole week because I miss elder kjar. when you connect spiritually with someone and then it gets spread apart... it hurts. President Grisel was helpful enough to send me a quote by President Benson. He states, "sometimes we must righteously hold on and outlast the devil until his depressive spirit leaves us." this week was one of the hardest I've worked yet because it was the only thing that distracted my mourning soul.  however, it was good too! my greenie elder Lindsey is so dope. he's slow on the bike but the kid inspires me like none other. he was baptized only a year ago. his faith shows and he has that yearning to learn more all the time. big respect for this guy .  this week I yearned for what President Nelson calls "spiritual momentum." He states, "Pure faith keeps us moving forward on the covenant path. Please do not fear or delay repenting. Satan delights in y...

If he hath repented of his sins, and desired righteousness until the end of his days, even so he shall be rewarded unto righteousness." (Alm...
