- At 19, Sid Going was a shoo-in for New Zealand's national rugby team, but he chose to serve a mission first. Elder Neil L. Andersen tells why Sid made the decision and how the blessings of a mission outweigh any sacrifice.

I'm 22 years old, and am a recently baptized member of my church. I knew before I was even baptized that I was going to serve a mission, and have been saving up for it for almost a year now. I faced a great deal of opposition on this decision, from my family, from my coworkers, and (occasionally) even members from the church. Despite it all, I know what the Lord wants me to do and I honestly don't care about much else. I can't wait!
I play for rugby for highland here in salt lake and seeing this video has helped me relate to Sid, his example to me of putting the Lord first before anything else of this earth. I cant wait to get out in the mission field in august to serve and spread the gospel!!
Personally, its 100 times more attractive when a guy decides to serve the Lord first despite what the "world" keeps offering him :-)
I love the phrase that says God will make more of you than you can, if you give your life to God. I think this applies to serving a mission!
And he's still going strong - lovely to see him in the temple last week with his sweetheart.
I to am a convert. I was baptized three years ago on the 19th of April. It is because of two young men who took the time and made the sacrifice for the faith. I have not looked back since. Thank you for your service.
That shot in 2:57 is definitely in Chicago. I'll never forget those blue line trains.
i love you scott gowdy!!!!!!!!!
Going on a mission is very important. I am almost 19 and people ask why I am going, and I tell them because I want to. They tell me I could use the money on collage or a car. I don't want to though. I am a convert and I understand the importance of missionary work. I was on the receiving end almost ten years ago. I will spend my ten year anniversary in the mission field. I can't think of any where better to have my ten year anniversary than serving the Lord.
A mission is a wonderful opportunity for young men and young women who belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to give up 18 months to 2 years of their lives serving God by spreading His gospel. They are able to bring individuals to Christ and show families how they can be sealed together forever!
I loved this!My brother has health problems that keep him from going on a full-time mission,but we found out about service missions.They allow people to share the gospel around the world digitally.He can come home,and choose when to go to the MTC.
That is AWESOME ! Grateful for our missionaries who come to serve. All blessings come to those on the Lords path 💙
"As you go forth, open your mouth and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to your fellow man and serve a mission for your Heavenly Father that he has asked you to do prior to coming into mortality."
This is an excerpt from my patriarchal blessing. I will go and do the things the lord has commanded, and I will go forth and preach his gospel and serve a mission.
I'm go grateful I served a full-time mission (in Canada as well). The spirit that is felt, the personal growth, and the blessing to see lives changed as they embrace the restored gospel is a beautiful blessing.
My Mission built the foundation for the rest of my life! Good going Sid!!!
i have faith in him still ...
Cant wait to go to Cochabamba Bolivia later this year to serve the people and the lord on my LDS mission!!
I start my papers next month! I'm doing the same and putting the Lord first. Holding off my graduation to go serve the Lord for 18 months :) ❤️
i testify to this to be true with all my heart :) i was doing really well with sport before my mission, i was picked to play for my country just before i got my mission call. i went on my mission knowing that i will be blessed :) now i live in France playing top level rugby. you mission will help you become 20 time better the person the lord wants you to be :)
Serving an honorable full time mission is not something I just want to do but it is something I believe in. I'm going to serve a mission believing that I can help others change, believing that I can make my heavenly father proud to sacrifice a tiny portion of my life to serve him and I know he will bless all those that believe in him.
i think it's kind of ironic that it's Neil Andersen giving this talk when he was my mom's mission president :)
This video has more significance to me now that the ages were lowered from 19 to 18, and from 21 to 19. My brother only has to wait six years now, and I only have to wait five! I'm preparing for my mission early!
Un súper ejemplo de decisiones y prioridades justas :)
Amazing
Soy presidente de los jovenes del sacerdocio aaronico en mi rama y estoy preparando una clase para este domingo y este hombre es un gran ejemplo! La clase sera sobre porque servir una mision !! Saludos hermanos y un gran abrazo!!
Sid Going. Awesome..Hands down..his example and his rugby prowess
What a great message. Learning at a young age to give back.
go and you will be blessed... i did and it was one of the best things I did in my life!
A mission is something that LDS youth do (boys at the minimum age of 18 and girls at the age of 19). We believe that for young men, serving a mission is a calling from God. Young women have the option and are welcomed to serve but not required. On a mission, companionships of two missionaries study, learn, teach, and proselyte about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They share the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. A mission lasts two years for men and 18 months for women.
thats awesome
amazing! thank you for sharing this! i will always look up to your example :) i am also preparing for mission, as i watched this, i can't help but cry, my heart was filled with love and comfort. serving a mission is not a burden rather it is a blessing :)
I start my papers in February!
simply a great story.
Sorry, daydreambeliever, about the late reply! Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are blessed so much by following Jesus Christ. Those who follow Him and His teachings receive peace in this life and the hope for Eternal happiness in the life to come. We want all to be able to experience that peace. So missionaries leave their homes, family, school, and jobs for 2 years to teach others how to follow Jesus Christ and have a relationship with their Heavenly Father.
Amazed
As a 15 year old women's rugby player for my high school team, This infulences me that the gospel comes before rugby.
I cried.
Super Sid was a great Rugby player and a fine man.
I am ganna go! If not, my whole life would be wasted!
What would you forgo
You, with the priesthood.
For the church to grow
For God's greater good
We do not have to where those black name tags to be a missionary.We can all surf the Lord Jesus Christ.every member of the Mormons church is a missionary
Alot of churches have missionaries, so they all probably work differently. But with the LDS church missionaries go for 18 months-2 years, usually guys go at 18 and girls 19. Actually the age was changed a few months ago, it used to be 19 for guys and 21 for girls. But pretty much you go and share the gospel with people in whatever country or state you go to. The main purpose is bringing others to Christ. :)
Sid and wife colleen were temple pres and matron of the NZ temple ......
this is cute!x
I love Rugby!xx
go and you will be blessed... i did...
They have "the scream"!
I don't know if someone has answered this yet or not... But here you go.
This is talking specifically about an LDS mission btw.
Anyway, its where we dedicate 2 years for boys, or 18 months for girls, to spreading the gospel of God. We teach others what we believe in, if they want to hear it.
Hope that answered your question!!
If you'd like to know/understand more, you can go to lds.org, or mormon.org.
They can help you more than I can, in this little space.
Thanks!!! :D
The missions that this video is talking about is when young men, who are eligible at age 18 after graduation, leave there homes to preach and serve people in mission areas across the globe for two years. Sister missionaries are eligible at age 19, and serve for a year and a half.
Their job is to teach people the gospel and serve them wherever their called.
You can go to mormon.org and ask more questions. They'll help you out. :)
Fantastic little video/documentary! Should give detractors something to think about instead of criticizing the church... as well as young LDS men considering going on a mission. Well done!
Quick question: What about Steve Young?
im not religious at all... what is a mission exactly?
People in the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints set aside 18-24 months to focus primarily on proselytising, typically away from home and often in a different country speaking a different language.
