- Students from the Olympus High School graduating class of 2012 opening their calls to serve as missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Young men serve for a period of 2 years and young women serve for 18 months. LDS missionaries do not choose where they will serve, the assignments are given by leaders of the LDS church.
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
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".
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.
Zachary Rodgers Where did you go? How was it!!!

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.

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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
I just turned 17. I can’t wait to be 19 so I can serve my misson. I had a vision at girls camp this year where I was speaking Korean and serving in South Korea. I truly believe that it was god showing me my future
Wow!! That's so cool!!
who else cried while watching this video?? I 16, I'm so excited, and can't wait for this day!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
In 2006, I was happy and capable of making my own decision to serve a mission serving others and bringing them to Christ. Those were some of the happiest two years of my life. I think these young men and women are even more happy and capable of making their own decisions.
Everyone in this video has gone and returned to continue with their lives. I hope they had success and wish them the best for their future. Keep the faith.
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 :)
The Lord has called us for his work to do ~! i'm truly grateful to be a part of the Gospel it has blessed my family and i Spiritually
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.
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.
What beautiful young people. The spirit of God shines through their eyes and their smiles.
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
My mother was a convert. She was born and raised in Italy. Cheers to all those headed to Italy.
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!
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.
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 :)
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!!!!!!!!!
way to go Elders and Sisters from Olympus High school !!!!!! great memories brought back... thank you all!
My sister is monica baer and today her papers were sent to our house. she will be opening them on friday! I am so excited! this is an awesome video! THank you and good luck to all of you amazing missionaries!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am an LDS mother of five faithful sons. I loved this video!!
I can't wait until the day I get to read 'you have been called to serve'!! Loved this video! Thank you!
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.
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
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!
Thank you so much for your kind and wise words. We need more of the respect and kindness you show, especially on the internet. May God bless you!
Dear Elder....You are hereby called to serve in Detroit. May God have mercy on your soul.
I love this video! This is only ONE HIGHSCHOOL folks! There is an army of righteous young people giving selfless service. There is so much good in the world. This just makes me happy.
I'm almost 15. I can't wait until I can get my mission call
sweet dude i cant wait either!!!
14 but still cant wait
Jonah Larsen You will be wonderful! Start preparing now!
Get a job instead.
why is the word moron found written within moroni the false angel on top of the mormon church temple?
What a beautiful video. You can help but get emotional watching how happy and excited they all are. Thanks for sharing!
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
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
I’m opening my call tonight!!!!!
This is beautiful. What an amazing opportunity these young men and young women have, but what an amazing blessing they will be to thousands of the people they are about to serve. I'm really excited to see this happening.
Wow! This is incredible! I counted over 100 soon to be missionaries! I have lots of happy tears and felt the Spirit so strong. Thank you for sharing this!
A blessing to receive a call from the Lord to serve Him.
Fantastic! So grateful to be a part of the Lord's army!
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!!!
Cried through the whole thing. The spirit was do sting in witnessing this IS the work of The Lord.
I cried! I promise you these will be the best two years for you life.
Happiest and hardest time of my life. Ultimately the most rewarding next to my wife,son, and temple.
Three kids going to my mission from this video. Stockholm Sweden! It's been 14 years since I opened my call. Wish I could go back!
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!
I'm so glad the negative comments were deleted so I couldn't read them. The young people of today are so amazing! I look forward to my children growing up and serving the Lord.
Singapore! I'm glad to see someone from this video receive a call for the Singapore Mission! It has since become one of my own favorite places.
Makes me remember opening my call - Spain, Barcelona. What a great experience. Awesome video
My granddaughter is waiting for her call right now...this video is awesome and I cried all the way through! Sent the link to my entire family (mostly non-members)
Dude... I served a mission and knew exactly what I was teaching. There are over 50,000 LDS missionaries out serving every day, every week, every year. Most of them having spent 4 yrs or more in seminary and institute preparing. In a recent New York Times article, they conducted a study and found that young LDS people know more about the Bible and other scriptures and religions than most other young Americans. That's not a bragging point, but a testament to the time spent learning of Christ.
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!
Great video! I am just sitting here crying thinking about when I opened my call 3 months ago! See you guys in the MTC!
Thanks for the fabulous vid! I think that this is the greatest season of missionary work in the history of the world.
I love this!! Two of them are in my brother's mission in Tacloban, Philippines! He absolutely loves it! Good luck to all of you and I hope that you all return home safely soon!
Wow! Soooo many in one class! :) So proud of you guys...Puts a lump on my throat as I watch this...Thank you for sharing. :)
Very cool. I didn't even cry when I opened my own call but I cried during this. Fun to see so many kids from one graduating class called to serve, and how cool for the ones going to the same missions.
So proud of all of these wonderful young men and women.
Just returned from the Ecuador Guayaquil South Mission a little over a month ago! Best time of my life!
I live within the PA, Pittsburg mission so I'll be excited if I get to meet the sister who got called out here. Congratulations to everyone!
This as very touching...thank you so much for taking the time to do this and post it!
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)
I didn't think I'd enjoy watching this, But I did......It was very Touching watching These Sincere God Loving Young Men and Women be called to Serve.
Thanks for the video! I'm from Montana and got called to Everett, Washington! I report on the 27th of this month. This made me remember why I love the church so much! :)
I can't love this video enough. Very well put together. I'm so happy that the work of the Lord has exploded. I almost with I could be going in to the field now instead of four years ago.
God's speed, Elders and Sisters, may you faith, love, and your true Love of Christ be with you always, It is the best two years for your life..
So incredible! Olympus rocks, I graduated from there in '05, but I have to say, that's one amazing class you guys had. You're going to make such awesome missionaries!
Beautiful video. As others said it brings back wonderful memories. I also want to add that every comment (both positive and negative) is a fulfillment of prophecy, "that my name should be had for good and evil among all nations, kindreds, and tongues, or that it should be both good and evil spoken of among all people."
Cried all through this! I've had two sons serve missions, with one currently serving in Colombia. This truly is the work of the Lord! How thrilling to see so many young people answer the call to serve!
Nothing but proud of these guys...good luck and may God bless you all,,,
I am Baptist and I came across this video. I love hearing everyone go on missions. Makes tears in my eyes.

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
Congratulations to all the missionaries. Thank you for this inspiring video. I'm going to school in Rapid City, SD it truly is a wonderful place, I look forward too meeting Elder Cannon! On another note, thank you for this inspirational video, I want to start preparing for a mission soon
This video is so outstanding. We eagerly await the service of Elders Vandenberghe and Crump as well as Sister Ference. Jeff Peterson, Khon Kaen, Thailand
God bless you all as you go forth and serve! What a wonderful, inspiring video!
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
What a special group of young people ... God bless them all!

Every time I watch someone open their mission call.. No matter who it is, I get all tingly inside :) I'm planning on going on a mission.. And IM 12!! I still have 7 years but I can wait :)
As an old Brighton Bengal, I'm proud to be on the same (bigger) team with you inspirational Titans! Hope of Israel? Yea, verily!
I go to school out here in Riverside, CA so excited to see someone was called here!!! CONGRATS TO EVERYONE :)
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.
WOW! Beautiful video. I bawled right along with them. Good job to whoever made it!
