As a member l was invited very quickly to go out finding with Elders, then Sisters, then teaching sharing my testimony. I was a new member. I so totally still love it. Today am sad l can usually "find" at bus stop on my own...getting to hard now. Its been terrific..l testify and learn. 🇬🇧 17:47

I remember watching this in the MTC in 1999 on my way to Rome, Italy. Wow time flies.

[@elenaalexandrova10]

All members of the church are missionaries :) We need to remember that!

[@robalatre]

I served 90-92 and i used to watch this in my areas churches libraries whenever i could to charge the batteries. Truly obedience was the key to everything. This video is timeless.

I served my mission in 1985 The Florida Tampa Missions I loved it and miss those days. If I could I would love to do it again. The gospel is true, ❤❤❤

It was 1991 actually. I love this video. This is how it was!! So special.

[@ronholm3590]

50 years ago, our group returned from the Uruguay Paraguay mission. Last month we had a Mission reunion on zoom and showed highlights of this video, Called to Serve. Our eyes moistened in remembrance, tenderness, and gratitude. The call: an eternal miracle.

[@marklevi220]

I used to check out this VHS from the church library almost every other Sunday growing up. I’m 38 years old and I still get the same goosebumps watching it now as I did then. Serving a mission was one of the best experiences of my life.

[@chren6643]

It is the best thing I have done in my life. It is important to serve with a whole heart. It goes so fast, it might not seems so at times, but once it is finished, we cannot go back and change things. I have loved being a missionary. It is one thing that sticks with you all your life. One never forgets. What we forget is the hard times. What we remember mostly is how we felt, the joy of serving and the great experiences and testimonies. We laugh when remembering the not so nice ones and see how blessed we were to get through them with the help of the Lord... We have fought the good fight and it has made us stronger.

[@PeterWilkins814031]

I really enjoyed watching this, young people full of vibrant hope and faith, PeterW (Montana Billings Mission 1980 - 1982)

[@angelherrero7519]

I am, along with my wife, serving a Senior Mission, serving in Spain and I do not get tired to watch this video. Mi mission as a young missionary comes back fresh, as I watch it.

[@ajluisreyes9443]

Which mission in Spain

[@angelherrero7519]

The Barcelona-Spain Mission, we live and serve in Lorca.

[@Barkz01]

The hype is real

[@Perykvaal]

To the poster of this video, it may not hurt to point out that the video was made in the early '90s, instead of the '80s. Minor detail, mind you.

[@LadySunshine4eveR]

Thank you for sharing "Called to Serve" here!!! As a Convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, in my late 20's & with a young family at that time, I didn't have an opportunity to serve a mission -- although I would have loved to do so if my circumstances had been different when I found the Church! Because I would have never had the Blessing of the Fulness of the Gospel without missionaries, I am Forever grateful for the Missionary Work of the Church & my Missionary Couple (with whom I kept in touch until Heavenly Father took each of them home unto Him -- she in June 2009, & he in October 2009)! Now that my children are grown, I hope that I have the opportunity to serve a mission some day after my husband retires from his job! Thank you!!!

[@striving1]

A minister of the Gospel told me that loving my family and caring for my children is definitely Missionary work.

[@LadySunshine4eveR]

Serving others, whether it is your family or anyone else, is definitely doing the Lord's work! My children are grown & are now parents themselves, but I have learned that service is service regardless of whom we serve! Have a good day!

Donald Aaron Lennart is he a missionary with the church, is there a way to find out

[@anthonynettleton8346]

​@@tinapollard388 yes you contact the church head quarters if you have his full name and date of birth and approx dates he served a mission or if u know the mission he was called to that would be easier as after 5 years all records get sent to church quarters for recording purposes so we know who served where and when

[@ronyndam7841]

Mormons: Repent and believe in the true gospel of Jesus! I implore you to read the Bible on your own, without the influence of your elders. The truth speaks for itself and you should not be afraid to investigate it on your own. Do not be afraid, Jesus is always with you!

Why do the Missionaries go by “Elder”?

[@THELDSLIFE]

It's an office in the priesthood and it's not necessarily tied to how old someone is. And Hebrews chapter 5 talked a little bit about elders and what they do elders does not necessarily mean elderly either.

It's called "Greater Love" Jenny gives blood to her brother Chris, then feels she is going to die after he explains how humming birds do something similar for other humming birds.
