Dear Elder Bake:
You are hereby called to serve
as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You are
assigned to labor in the France Lyon Mission. It is anticipated that you will
serve for a period of 24 months.
You should report to the Provo
Missionary Training Center on Wednesday, March 5, 2014. You will prepare to
preach the gospel in the French language. Your assignment may be modified
according to the needs of the mission president.
You have been recommended as one worthy to represent
the Lord as a minister of the restored gospel. You will be an official
representative of the Church. As such, you will be expected to maintain the
highest standards of conduct and appearance by keeping the commandments, living
mission rules, and following the counsel of your mission president. As you
devote your time and attention to serving the Lord, leaving behind all other
personal affairs, the Lord will bless you with increased knowledge and
testimony of the Restoration and of the truths of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Your purpose will be to invite others to come unto
Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus
Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy
Ghost, and enduring to the end. As you serve with all your heart, might, and
strength, the Lord will lead you to those who are prepared to be baptized.
The Lord will reward you for the goodness of your
life. Greater blessings and more happiness than you have yet experienced await
you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the Lord in this labor of love among
His children. We place our confidence in you and pray that the Lord will help
you become an effective missionary.
You will be set apart as a missionary by your stake
president. Please send your written acceptance promptly, endorsed by your
bishop.
