I was called and set apart a couple of weeks ago to be a Church Service Missionary Photographer of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What does this mean? Well basically… take pictures where ever I go and submit them to be used in Church media. So you’ll see me and my kiddies with a camera all the time. Some people from create.lds.org recruited me back in October at LDS Tech conference. Before that I was struggling to figure out where in the world to take my photography hobby… I felt like this is the best way for me to learn more about photography, officially start a real photography business and share my testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ at the same time!! I’m going to need all my friend’s help to fulfill this calling! Yes, I really do get to wear this name tag…
That can be a mission? That is so cool!
HAHA! I know right? I think half of my mission is letting the members know that this mission exist. There are 91 photographer missionaries around the world.
Love that you can do missionary work and combine it with your other interests and talents! Can’t wait to see some of your photos!
I know it’s so great. I can’t imagine anything else more ideal for my hobbies and sharing the gospel!
This seems so perfect for you!! I’m excited to hear about it!
Thank you!
What an awesome blessing! It’s wonderful how Heavenly Father Blesses not only exactly how we (and others) need us to be but so many times he does it in a way that speaks to our heart desire as well. You are going to do a wonderful job!
Thanks for the super nice and truthful comment, Karin! 🙂 Thanks for the encouragement. I’ve been a little discourage this past week so I really appreciate the comment!
