Called to serve Him, heav’nly King of glory,
Chosen e’er to witness for his name,
Far and wide we tell the Father’s story,
Far and wide his love proclaim.
Called to know the richness of his blessing–
Sons and daughters, children of a King–
Glad of heart, his holy name confessing,
Praises unto him we bring.
Onward, ever onward, as we glory in his name;
Onward, ever onward, as we glory in his name;
Forward, pressing forward, as a triumph song we sing.
God our strength will be; press forward ever,
Called to serve our King.
The letter came on Thursday, December, 15th 2011!
So I had a letter opening party! Thank you so much to everyone that came and shared this very special moment with me. And thank you to everyone who wanted to be there but was unable to attend do to previous commitments. I appreciate all the texts and warm wishes!
Everyone wrote down where they thought I would go!

I was told to open the envelope very carefully... It felt like I was taking forever!
I am reading the letter and my hand is on my heart, so sweet! lol
Here are the contents of my lovely package! :) Read Carefully!!!

Maren wrote me a letter already!!


A gift so that everyone will know that I am from OK! (Its purple!)

Well did you read the letter or did you just look at the picture before?? Where am I going to be serving as a missionary for the next 18 months? KENNEWICK WASHINGTON!!!

Sorry I wasn't able to get off work and bring the family up for your letter party. I understand how important it is to have a strong support group for serving a mission. I was very lucky with mine, and I know that there are people in your family who will do everything they can to help you be a successfull missionary. We are so proud that you are going to serve the Lord. He will guide you in every step of your journey. Remember you are on his errand, and he wants you to succeed. He loves you, and we love you. Good Luck from Justin L.
