The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has authority from God to share the restored gospel of Jesus Christ with the whole world. All people on earth are beloved spirit sons and daughters of our loving Heavenly Father. He wants all of his children to have the knowledge, and ordinances that will bring them back to his presence. Jolene and I received a call from a living prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, on 3 July 2025 to serve a full-time mission for a period of twelve months and were assigned to the Ethiopia Addis Ababa Mission. We will be in the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC) on November 3rd for a week of training. We will depart from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA on November 12th and arrive in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia on November 14th. We are excited to serve the people in Ethiopia.
