Hello everyone! On today’s show, I speak with Daniel Ortner who served in the Russia, Novosibirsk Mission from 2010 to 2012. He has an interesting conversion story and has some great insights and experiences from his mission.
And in my missionary minute, I talk about a transformative experience.
So let’s get to it!

A big thanks to my new friend Daniel Ortner. Daniel just reached out and said that he’d like to share his mission experience and I’m so happy that he did because he has such an amazing story to share.
In today’s missionary minute …. Daniel used a word to describe his mission. Transformative. That’s the exact word that I have used in describing my mission. If I could have known what my mission would do for me, I would have never even second-guessed it. I felt like I was supposed to go, but I had absolutely no idea how significant that decision would be for me. I have said many times, almost every good thing that has happened to me in my adult life can be traced back to me serving a mission. I won’t go into detail because then the missionary minute will turn into the missionary hour, but honestly, it was transformative for my life and that is why I am so passionate about missions and feel like every young man and young woman would be blessed by serving and would bless others by their service. I was very happy when President Nelson said in the April General Conference, “I reaffirm STRONGLY that the Lord has asked every worthy able young man to prepare for and serve a mission.” He went on to say that it is a priesthood responsibility and that the youth have been reserved for this time. He added, “For you young and able sisters, a mission is a powerful but optional opportunity.“ I simply say, Amen.
Well, that’s about it for today’s show.
