ferretrunner Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Congrats, Sean! Good luck with the mission. Quote
pam Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Start turning up the heat in your home to about 120 degrees so you can start the acclimation process now. Congratulations Quote
SeanButler Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Posted May 8, 2011 Congrats to your call to Sin City! I'm going to show all those sinners that there is a better way! Quote
john doe Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 Congratulations! There are a lot of good people in southern Nevada and you will undoubtedly have many great experiences there. Quote
Still_Small_Voice Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 You will have a temple in your mission that you can attend. The people of Las Vegas surely need your service. I hope you work miracles in the hands of the LORD. Quote
thinkingofgethsemane Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 I have been called to serve as a missionary in the Nevada Las Vegas West Mission. I report to the Missionary Training Center (MTC) on Wednesday, September 28, 2011.Oh wow. You still have 4 months to continue with your preparation. That is incredible. When my mission call arrived back in 2007 I only had barely a month left before I would enter the Manila MTC.Congratulations! Quote
Guest tbaird22 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 NO WAY thats where i live! but ill be up at school before you get here. You have a crazy long time to prepare thats awesome! I think the people here have become much more receptive because of the economy, but thats just my observation. Quote
Dravin Posted May 8, 2011 Report Posted May 8, 2011 English, Spanish, or other speaking? I'm assuming English as you didn't mention anything, but I felt like I'd make sure. Anyway, congratulations. Quote

skippy740 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 I'm going to show all those sinners that there is a better way! Yep. Our humility makes us better than everybody else! :)Enjoy your mission! You'll learn tolerance, patience, brotherly kindness... and that's with just your companions! Quote
dahlia Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 One of my missionaries was born in Las Vegas; his father still lives there. I admit to being surprised that there was an LDS community there at all, but apparently there's even a temple. Go figure. Anyway, congrats on your mission call. Quote
grantstine Posted May 9, 2011 Report Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) My wife read me a portion in a book called" everlasting life". A story in the book said: (this is not exact but pretty close). A young lady was going on her mission. For her farewell on sunday she asked her older sister to give a talk in sacrament meeting. Her sister(who was going to give the talk) before the meeting started, was sitting on the stand and looked back in the back of the chapel and there was a group of people standing in temple clothing. She recocognized them as deceased family members. Her deceased father came up to her and told her that he loved her, and that the talk that she was going to give was a good one. The older sister did not tell her sister about the visitors right away. Later in her mission her older sister told her. The sister missionary told her sister, that she prayed for each one of her deceased relatives to attend her farewell that sunday. What a wonderfull blessing. Good luck, and you will be surprised how many mormons are in vegas. The prophet is calling, and i am glad that their are valiant young men as yourself who are answering. God speed.
