I knew from an early age that I would someday serve as a missionary. My testimony of Jesus Christ and his restored church had developed over the years, and at age 19 I was ready to serve. I had always been interested in places beyond my backyard, was curious about other languages and cultures, and had a strong interest in Europe. So being called to serve in Sweden was a natural fit.
I received my call just 8 days after my papers were sent in, and I was to report to the Missionary Training Center two months later, on May 25, 1978. To this day, the receipt of calling and report date seems to be one of the quickest I've heard. They must have needed me there without delay.
My missionary service was from May 25, 1978 to June 6, 1980.
