[@luizsilva6025]

Even though I'm not from your church/religion ( but I am christian - Baptist church) those videos make the tears roll down my face cuz it is so brave to show the world that You love God and take his love/word to the people - specially today

[@9431725]

Luiz Silva Thank you so much! It is a special responsibility to spread the word of Christ's Atonement. God bless you!

I have been a member my entire life. I served in France and Belgium for 30 months and loved being in the service of Christ. The additional 6 months was to better learn the language. At that time there was no language training. Being from Canada, I had French language during three years of high school, and was blessed to become proficient once I had several months under my belt on site in France. I am now almost 78 yrs of age. Together with my wife, we served at the historic site in Wyoming known as Martin's Cove where so many suffered and died in 1856.Our experience there (six months in 2016 and again for six months in 2017) was never to be forgotten! Their faith and sacrifice as converts from the U.K. and from Scandinavian nations was such an exemplary test of their faith. I remember teaching in the visitor center the following words from "Come, Come Ye Saints" "And should we die before our journey's through, happy day, all is well. We then are free from toil and sorrow too, with the just we will dwell". Truly life-changing for my wife and for myself! Will never forget singing the trek anthem "Here we stand on hallowed ground, can you feel them all around as we stand on hallowed ground".

[@ZackAttack1798]

I'm opening my call this Saturday. Watching this makes me cry. I'm so excited to serve the Lord and preach of this gospel.

I always find myself watching these videos because there is so much excitement and joy that comes from being called to serve a mission. I think it is beautiful how much love you all have for your faith.

Being a missionary is a great responsibility! The missionary must have great energy, fortitude, and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, no matter what part of the world he or she is in, he or she must spread the Word. Locals must understand what the missionary is telling them. The missionary must get the Word right! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is going on a mission or preparing for one, I would like to recommend a very good workshop by Yury Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes: Practical Tips for Learning Foreign Language. This wonderful book will give you answers how to properly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book gives answers to many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. I wish you good luck in your important work!

[@GinaDenny]

This video has actually served as a missionary tool. Some of my non-member friends have watched it an asked questions about missions, missionaries, and the church in general. Thank you for taking the time to put this together, and congrats to a phenomenal group of young people!

[@zhafirahamalina8847]

im muslim, but i dont kno why i love to watch mission call opening. LOL. i think this is beautiful to serve God to the world. Love Peace from Indonesia. i never meet missionaries in here btw. sorry for my bad english ✌

You're feeling the Spirit of our Lord .. that's why I sought out this video too. :)

What a wonderful volunteer work these young kids are doing. It will forever bless their lives and others as they learn to work hard for others.

[@karlshaner2453]

Come,come ye Saints. No toil nor labor fear but with joy, wend your way! The prayers of all the saints go out to every worthy missionary. May their voices ring, declaring the Gospel of Jesus Christ restored.

[@GmaWhite]

How I love these missionaries. I had the high honor of associating with many of these young people while we attempted to learn (and love) Science at Oly Jr. My prayer is that they remembered one lesson: +E ... which I can now add includes not being weary of the Lord's correction (Proverbs 3:11) and enjoying the HUGE blessings of trusting in the Lord (completely). Now that I know what you are up to, I can add my prayers to so many others for your success. Love you! Mrs. White

[@elev84u]

The negative comments are to me, just a testament to how true this work is. There is such joy in this video, such enthusiasm from these missionaries who are obviously so excited to serve Jesus Christ! I love this gospel!

[@forrestc4960]

I cried as I watched this. I was inactive in the church for 23+ years and therefore none of my 5 children, or their children, are in the church. I am now serving as the Relief Society President in my branch and I look to the young missionaries to continue to contact my children and grandchildren in hope and prayer of them embracing the gospel. My children live in Arizona and Florida, so those of you who will be in U.S. missions, remember: you can make such a difference to so many.

[@ambernina2010]

I just found this through Deseret News on Facebook and I couldn't stop crying! Inspiring! So blessed to be a part of this wonderful church.

[@Lloydlewisjr]

What a stalwart, wonderful group of young people. I never had the opportunity, but had I known then what I know now (50+years later) I would have been there with you. Now, I just say thank you, and do your absolute best to serve and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ.

[@DancePower7]

I'm so proud to have graduated with all of these kiddos, and so excited to join them all in the work this summer! love you all and fantastic job Danielle! What you have done is something which will touch the hearts of many.

[@crawfordzoo]

Sister Chard, congratulations on your call to Frankfurt. That is my home mission! When I was baptized my home town (Duisburg) was covered by the Duesseldorf Mission, but is now in Frankfurt. That is also where I lived after I served my mission to Switzerland Zuerich. So happy for you!!!!!!!!!

[@goblincamper2004]

How exciting it is to be called as a missionary and for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What an honor to serve. I served my mission form 1998 to 2000, in the New Mexico Albuquerque mission and it was great. I just wanted to let all those that are embarking on their missionary service to know that there will be moments of despair and you must realize why you are serving. It is to bring souls unto Christ. May God bless you and your families as you prepare to serve your missions.

[@twride14]

Just by seeing their pictures, I can see the Spirit of Christ shining in their eyes - the joy of the gospel just radiates from the countenances of all those young men and women.

[@trishbarker5]

Good luck to all those who put prepared themselves, the lasting effects of your service will bless your lives and all those around you for generations to come... special prayers for those going to serve the wonderful people in Thailand!!!

[@micheleragazzo8460]

Thank you! Love this post, cried like a baby...Some of you going to my beautiful land of Brazil and to so many places all over the world! Serving a Mission will change your lives forever!

[@Twister051]

AWESOME video! I served in the "GREAT" Louisiana Baton Rouge Mission, 5 November 1984 to 13 November 1986. Probably the single best decision I ever made in my life. I learned so much, one of which is that we, as Latter-day Saints, are not alone in our fight for goodness and decency through Jesus Christ. The Church is true. Work hard, Elders and Sisters, work hard!

[@MMann1221]

Each of these kids is about to have an incredible experience. Watching this brought back the feelings of being a missionary. Good luck and godspeed to each of them.

[@tiolion12]

Blessings to all of you serving the Our Lord Jesus Christ. You are to embark in the most important and rewarding journey of your lives. It is uplifting to see so many young women and young men have the desire to serve our God.

[@RonnyNowland]

Well done Elders and Sisters! Having just returned home from serving in the Singapore Mission just a few months ago, it is great to see so many wonderful youth who are living worthily to be called as the Lord's anointed and continue the Lord's work of spreading His Gospel to all of our brothers and sisters! God Bless you all!

[@rbitrbit]

I can just see these beautiful young people going forth and filling the earth with the message of Jesus Christ; like the stone cut out of the mountain without hands.

[@kollectur]

It's great to see all these young people scattering about the earth to do a good work. I was a Titan, class of '78, and served in the Sweden Stockholm Mission.

[@isaacnelson5012]

What beautiful young people. The spirit of God shines through their eyes and their smiles.

[@eileensharp1777]

My daughter just entered the MTC, to go to Africa. Wherever you go, you will love it and you'll know that's where you belong. We've had so many experiences that tell us Cape Verde was exactly where the Lord needs her.

[@TeamNina2008]

Peru Lima East is where my sweetheart served! So proud of all these youth for volunteering to serve our Lord. Thanks for uploading this great video :)

[@JPumpkinKing]

As a Olympus alumni, it makes me proud to see so many of the younger generation Oly Titans willing to serve the Lord around the world! May God bless you and your families! And as my dad used to say to me....Go and baptize the devil out of them! Return with honor!

[@christopherkurtz2915]

Beautiful and faithful young men and women of Olypmus High. Thank you for sharing this moment with us. We spoke of this video in our Stake Council this morning and tonight we had the missionaries in our home for dinner. What a tremendous time to help the Lord "hasten his work". We love you great and mighty youth. Pres K, San Rafael Stake

[@catherineo21392]

I was recently baptized, and hope to serve a mission either in the near future or as a senior couple. This touched me beyond words. I am so grateful to now be a part of this incredible church after waiting for 4 years to be baptized. The wait was worth it, and I'm so thankful I was able to use that time spreading the gospel with the missionaries. This made my testimony even stronger. thank you for sharing and good luck Elders and Sisters!!! Till the whole world hears, -Recent Convert, WA state

[@KathrynSkaggs]

What AMAZING Class reunions these Sisters and Elders will have over the years as they reflect back on this time throughout their entire lives! Godspeed to all of you as you go forth to serve the Lord...

[@kiaraslade]

I am so proud of y'all! Without missionaries, I wouldn't have become a member of the church 20 years ago. I'm still friends with the two amazing sisters that taught me. Each missionary has held a special place in my heart. I pray that you each touch someone as I have been over the years from the service of others like you. Bless you all! P.S. I couldn't stop crying at each of y'alls reactions. Totally amazing.

[@carlenh]

You know, I want to serve a mission even more now! I still have about 3 years to go and I wish there were this many people in my high school in Oklahoma to make a video like this. I would love to follow in the footsteps of these youth that are going to learn what it is to truly love and serve people. I'm soooo excited that they moved the age back!

[@nemecka]

that is a great video you have made! Congratulations to all of the sisters and elders from the Olympus Class of 2012 for deciding to serving the Lord! As a returned sister missionary of two years, i have to tell you all - you have made the best decision in your life so far! May God bless you while you serve His people! Serve with honor

[@Troul478]

[@WestonPiper]

I loved this video.. Nicely done! Graduated from OLY in 98 and served in the Rome mission. This video brought back great memories. So jealous of all those young people staring out the best 2 years of their life. For all those new missionaries and to those who fearlessly bear their testimonies in the field or on you tube.. ''Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my name sake' Matthew 5:11

Thanks for posting this video! It's great to see all these young men and women responding to President Monson's beautiful challenge. It's also amazing that this is one class of high school students! There were just 5 members in my high school of 2 thousand. Good luck to all you missionaries and those going to Italy... treat it well!! - Italy Milan Mission 2004-2006

[@MrArgenjorge]

What an amazing video and how wonderful your examples are. Thanks so very much for wanting to serve the Lord at such young age. I'm originally from Argentina and was baptized at the age of 14 when two angelic sister missionaries came to my humble home and taught us the gospel. Everything I am and have right now, every blessing the Lord has given, I owe to the decision of becoming a member of His Church...Thanks so very much for sacrificing your life to serve and find His elect people.

[@sanme87]

I am a Hindu and i love watching Mormon videos.. there are some similarities between Hinduism and Mormonism... both are peaceful religions who respect others.. i have talked to missionaries and i must say they are the best missionaries i have ever met... they respected my faith... prayed for me.. unlike Protestant missionaries who call us pagan devil worshiper .. i believe that LDS teaches the true Christianity.... _: Regards and Good Luck to all Elders and Sisters from India

[@rebeccaeldredge4287]

Elder Bednar came and spoke at my stake conference this last weekend. He said he watched this video in the morning and it brought him to tears :)

I'm on my husband's youtube profile. I was watching this video and noticed at 5:35 Elder Goaslind got his call to Peru... His father Elder David Goaslind and companion converted my grandparents and their 8 children here in England and since then hundreds of people are strong in the gospel! Ashley Elston (Greenacre)

[@21may2000]

Awesome! thank you for sharing the joy, enthusiasms, and excitement the youth had shared all over the world to serve the Lord for 18 months for the sisters and 2 years for the brothers. My daughter who is turning 19 on March had submitted already her missionary application. She just entered BYU-Hawaii when Prophet Monson announced the called and she responded the call. I am excited for her.

[@banananer16]

I put in my papers two days ago and I was worrying some about where I might be sent, but this video and some wonderfully supportive friends helped me see that it doesn't matter where I serve, so long as I serve with all my heart, might, mind, and strength. I'm so excited to devote my life to the service of God!

[@HystericallyAccurate]

I am not even a Mormon, but a stalwart Atheist, yet I was extremely affected by this video. It truly shows your church's wonderful thankfulness and kindness, and I was moved to tears by the ardent passion you have for your beliefs and church. Bravo!

Greetings from Sevilla, Spain. Tonight Élder Walker (aka Rick Walker ) showed me this video & it was so exciting. We're already expecting James Webb (Élder Webb) here in Spain & perhaps we'll meet in person. I served in the CVM, so Greg Watts (Elder Watts), I expect u make my mission better than I left it. Many things come to my mind but especially Remember Charity & love $ your fellow brethen & sisters. We all are children of God. By the way; We're proud of Élder Walker here in Sevilla.

[@ephraimette]

What a powerful and amazing experience that was! The Work of the Lord WILL go forth and no unhallowed hand will stop it! Thank you, thank you, Danielle for taking the time to put together this video--my mind takes the incredible offering of service to the Lord demonstrated by one high school's graduating class and multiplies it by thousands like it the world over and I am overcome with joy and gratitude at this rising generation of Saturday's Warriors.
