Yes, It is Official

Dear Brother and Sister Young ,

I am pleased to inform you that your son, Elder Young , has been called to serve as a Zone Leader  in our mission.  He has exhibited leadership capabilities through his desire to learn and lead out in his efforts as a missionary.  His example of hard work, following the Spirit, and concern for his fellow missionaries have prepared him to assume these new responsibilities.

This opportunity will stretch him and give him new opportunities for growth.  As he lifts and sustains the missionaries under his stewardship, he will develop a deep love for them and for the Lord.  These abilities will sustain him throughout his life.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve with your son here in the mission field. This is the work of the Lord.  His efforts are blessing the lives of so many.  I am grateful to you for supporting him in this new and important calling.

Sincerely,

President Richard W. King
Chile Santiago West Mission

NEW calling - Zone Leader

We are quite sure, though we may be wrong....but, if we are right and reading the clues right...Elder Austin Kyle Young is a new Zone Leader!  Elder Young told us in a "round about way" that he was made Zone Leader last Monday. LOL ...More evidence to come!

One Year Celebration

Tomorrow marks ONE YEAR for Austin being out on his mission! He entered the Provo, Utah Missionary Training Center on March 24th, 2010.  In honor of his one year milestone, I have decided to create a blog for him and for all of those who love him.  I will try to post details, pictures, experiences, and pieces of letters on a regular basis. We are so proud of you Elder Young!
