Written by:
Host Justin Barton interviews Cole Houser from North Spokane as he prepares to serve a full-time mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Mexico City Chaco region. Cole shares his interests in math, tennis, and Etch A Sketch, then discusses reporting dates, learning Spanish, and how he’s preparing through temple attendance, receiving his endowment, reading the Book of Mormon, studying covenants, and doing family history. He explains why he’s always planned to serve, his fear of difficult companions, and what he’s most excited about, including teaching and hearing others pray. Cole reflects on goals like gaining meekness, relying on spiritual gifts, and enduring hard times through constant prayer and willingness, then connects Doctrine and Covenants 4 to missionary work and testifies of Jesus Christ, repentance, and ministering angels.
