The Mission Call

Andrew Torrey Greenlaw - 19 years old

My son, Andrew, has always wanted to serve a mission. After working really hard to prepare, Andrew was able to turn in his mission papers to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

The church has recently changed their policy on receiving mission calls. They are now emailed to the perspective missionary. Andrew got a text from the church that said his call had been assigned and that he could open it on lds.org. We gathered together and he opened his call on our iPad.

 Where is Andrew going to serve a mission? There were a lot of guesses in the US. 

Opening his call - September 25, 2018

"You are hearby called to serve a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of 

Latter-Day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the Louisville, Kentucky Mission". 

So proud of my boy!

Andrew has worked so hard to get to this day. It is proof of the type of man he is. He is determined, fearless, obedient, loving, and truly amazing! We couldn't be more proud of him. Andrew leaves for his mission on January 16, 2019. He will go to the MTC in Provo, Utah!
