My son John Michael Baadsgaard just received his mission call to the Copenhagen Denmark mission.
He is so happy to return to the land of his ancestors and deliver the good news about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Baadsgaard is a Danish name. John will learn to speak Danish.
John will leave this summer and serve for two years.
John earned all the money to pay for his own mission working construction and teaching piano lessons. This is how John expressed his feelings:
"I can't express how excited I feel to have received my mission call today. I have spent my entire life looking forward to these two years, and have always wondered where I would be spending them. Today I found out.
I have been assigned to labor as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Copenhagen, Denmark. I will be speaking the Danish language. I report to the Provo Missionary Training Center on July 29, 2015.
I can't accurately express to you my feelings, but I can testify to you that I know I am going to right place. I know that Jesus Christ is my savior, and I am more than excited to get to share his gospel for two years."
