First let me say that I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. That is the actual and proper name for our church. Our church is often referred to as the LDS Church, or the Mormon Church. This series of posts was at the request of some of my friends on Facebook. You can read more about that here–on my Landing Page or introduction for the Write 31 Days Challenge.
I thought it might be easier to share about Chandler’s mission if I asked him a series of five questions and then recorded his responses. So I will post my question, and then his response. I only asked five questions of Chandler, because he is still serving his mission and honestly, it has only been just over a month. He is still pretty new at this, but his enthusiasm is pretty great. After his Q&A, I will share a little more about his particular mission, including a peek at what his schedule looks like now, and what it will look like in the near future. There are some things that he isn’t doing quite yet, as his supervisor, Brother Peterson, thought he shouldn’t eat the whole elephant at once, but more like a bite at a time. Good plan!
Where are you serving your mission?
At home, currently at the Lovell Seminary building. A local mission, if you will.
What kinds of things do you do on your mission?
What is your favorite thing about your mission?
Everything.
What is the hardest thing about your mission?
Nothing’s too hard! …Now that I’m saying this, I more than likely jinxed it.
What are you learning on your mission?
Share your testimony about serving your mission…
I’d just like to say that serving this service mission totally rocks and has tons of opportunities in Seminary. I’m glad I get work there and see what all kinds of stuff I can do! Seriously, it’s the best!

As you can see, Chandler is pretty busy and will continue to be busy for the next several months. This also makes me busy. But I love seeing the growth and changes in him that have already occurred. I can only imagine how much he will continue to change over the course of his Service Mission. This has been a great experience for him and our family thus far and I feel blessed that he is able to have it.
This is awesome! Chandler is dedicated to his calling as a Missionary. Blessed w good parents. Thanks for the inspiration all of you!
