Farewell

Here's Wes meditating before his farewell talk. :)

He did a great job! And we had a beautiful lunch with family and friends afterwards. Thank you to everyone--we appreciate your love and support!

We're on the countdown now! 36 hours until it's official!

Why Wes is serving a Mission

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations” (Matthew 28:19).

Carlos E. Asay, a Church leader, said, “(There is) a marvelous phenomenon which occurs among men when the light of the gospel illuminates their lives. Almost instinctively, it seems, the light of truth sparks a desire to share. When our minds are expanded by new knowledge, we want others to know; when our spirits are elevated by heavenly influence, we want others to feel; and when our lives are filled with goodness, we want others, particularly those whom we love, to enjoy similar experiences.”You may have seen missionaries riding on bicycles or walking door to door, sharing their message. They are doing everything they can to seek out people who may be interested in learning more about Jesus Christ and God’s plan for their happiness. They serve in pairs, for “in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established” (Matthew 18:16). Missionaries volunteer full-time service for a period of eighteen months to two years.
