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 Marshall Islands Majuro Mission. In addition to your calling to share the gospel, you will be assigned to serve in the Kiribati Mission Region. It is anticipated that you will serve for a period of 24 months.
...you will prepare to teach the gospel in the Kiribati language...
...as you devote your time and attention to serving the Lord, leaving behind all other personal affairs, the Lord will bless you...
...your purpose will be to invite others to come unto Christ...
...Greater blessings and more happiness than you have yet experienced await you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the Lord in this labor of love among His children."
It was a busy day after the call arrived. The original plan was to overnight the envelope to him, but he couldn't wait one more day to find out where he was going! We came up with a new plan. We called family members and got some on a conference call and some on a google hangout. We then carefully removed the letter (the girls made sure no one peeked), scanned it, and emailed it to him when everyone was ready. Here is the video of him opening the email and reading his call.
Dallin is so excited to serve in the Marshall Islands and is grateful for so much love and support.
Here are a few more pictures from that day.
