Setting Apart

Jaydan was set apart tonight and given some good advice and counsel. President Jones talked about the "white bible" and his name tag. How both are close to your heart and if you follow the instructions in the white bible you will be blessed. He talked about "remembering". Remember to keep the commandments, remember your name. (you are a disciple of Christ and also your family name...you represent both) You will be remembered for all your hard work and it will be good. Also to be Obedient in all things!

President Christian talked about a sickle and when used probably it is hard work. To raise his voice and declare the Gospel...to open you mouth and speak the words of repentance to the people. You will be blessed as you do open your mouth and raise your voice in teaching those in Uruguay. Invite the Spirit to be with you. You are called where you are suppose to be....where the Lord needed you. Work Hard!

President Malone mentioned that even though you don't have a degree to teach you do have the Priesthood which is more important than any degree. It is through the spirit people will be touched. The things you have always known you will be able to teach to others who haven't always know them. You will gain a vast knowledge of Gospel Truths! Teach faith, hope, charity, and love. Don't try to do anything without the help of the Lord. Don't worry about what is going on at home because God is watching over your family. Don't be a tourist...be a missionary! You are helping to build Israel....Hooray for Israel! Work Hard....The Gospel is True.

Then Jaydan was set apart in the name of Jesus Christ and by the power of the Priesthood to be a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints to labor faithfully in the Uruguay, Montevideo West Mission. He was told that he would receive blessing as he served with all his heart. He will be able to remember the things that he has been taught and will be able to share those things with others. Jaydan will have the desire to study the scriptures and those scripture habits will carry with him throughout his life. He was blessed to learn and Spanish language and their customs and to appreciate them. He was blessed with Patience...for his companions and the work. He was told to quietly encourage his companions to work hard and to be an example to them. He was blessed to have a deep love for his Mission President and to be obedient so blessing will come to him. He was told that this is his training ground for important things that will come to him through out his life. He will be able to understand the hearts and minds of those he teaches. Jaydan will be able to speak with confidence and power. Many are waiting for Jaydan and he has prepared well for his mission. Our family will be blessed and feel of his hard work and he will feel of our prayers and love for him. He was told to never be discouraged and that the opposite of faith is stress...so to be Faithful!
