  1. Thats great!!! When do you leave? Which MTC?
  2. Church released theses figures about mission applications after the announcement. Missionary applications rose by 471%. More than half being young ladies. theres now around 7000 a week.
  3. Most missionaries I asked just said read preach my gospel and the book of mormon. 1)But if you can read the new testament, d & c and the pearl of great price.. because from there is where we learn about pre mortal life which we have to testify about often. 2)Also Check out the website "fair lds" because you will no doubt have people tell you on your mission the church is false and this is why "blah blah blah" but if you know some of the things they will say and how to defend yourself you will not have doubts. On your mission you cannot take "apologetics" books (religious defense ) so just really get to know the scriptures by looking at them. 3) pray for further testimony even if you have one. If you start without one people you meet at the start of your mission may loose out on the spirit. 4) get into healthy scripture reading habits and mark them. but dont close them straight afterwards... leave time to pause and think "what does god want me to learn from this". hope you get you call soon and everything goes ok.
  4. Let me know where you get called!. Also which elder should I be looking out for?
  5. It includes ( mind my spelling ) Switzerland, Austria, Leichstein, and germany
  6. Alpine German Speaking mission Report date 5TH FEB 2013
  7. In matthew 5-6 it mentions giving up everthing for the will and work of god and that he will look after you. So no its not a commandment but it is a nice gesture.
  8. Just to let you guys know. Salt lake have now fixed the issue and I should be expecting my call soon.
  9. I asked bishop to phone salt lake and they said that the stake president had been contacted recently concerning a issue. They still assume im this other person even though the stake president has had an apology over the mix up. They said they would call back today so im hoping this can get cleared up. But i hope this is all for a reason :) thanks for the advice though
  10. Im 18 years old and a month,but we can go at 18 now in the uk. I had my interview with the S.P 8 weeks ago . 2 weeks later Salt lake had mixed my papers up with someone elses and I got asked questions which were for the other guy but that got cleared up after about a week. So my papers have still been in for a for a very long time and they have still not been assigned. When I asked the bishop to message them to check up they did not respond and the stake president tells me to be patient they will come. This however seems really annoying as people who put their papers in 3 weeks ago have their calls. I feel that they have been lost and I have no idea of what to do?. I dont want to get a job incase the call comes and I have to quit within a week of starting and I cannot go back to school because the year has started. Is there anyone else who had to wait long or has had a mix up / still waiting for their papers?
