Elder Justin Mathews: 5/2/10

Standard of Truth

"Our missionaries are going forth to different nations. The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done."

-Joseph Smith

Called to Serve

After waiting 19 years for this I'm finally going on a mission! I will be serving in the Spain, Barcelona mission for the next two years of my life. I report to the Provo MTC on September 29 2010... a little later than I was hoping but I can't really do much about that. After three weeks there I will be transferred to the Madrid MTC for the final six weeks of training. I'm excited and ready to go and I can't wait to get out and serve. I just hope that these next five months go by pretty quick.
