Called to Serve: Elder Stamp

Thursday, August 28, 2008

Our AMAZING 2008 EFY participant, Megan Jolynn Sumbot writes about what happened after saying goodbye to her friend, Elder Benton Stamp as he left for his mission:

"I turned on my I-pod and was listening to music...the first song that came on was by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was the battle hymn of the republic, Benton's favorite hymn. As I listened to the words my heart filled with this undescribable JOY! This image popped into my mind of Benton serving the Lord with his black suit and name tag. He was spreading the gospel. The pain in my heart was not gone but at the same time as I was hurting I felt this amazing joy. I felt like I was just beaming like a sun beam. It was such an undesribable feeling I wish I could put it into words better....I am so proud of him!"

We are too! Thank you for serving the Lord, Benton. May you be blessed throughout these next two years and forever!

We want to hear from you!
