  • Missionary moments: 'Imagine my delight'

    My mission call came in July 1983 when President Spencer W. Kimball called me to serve in the Texas Houston Mission. I was thrilled to be called by a prophet of God and also to be going somewhere that seemed so different from the green fields of my native England. I wondered about the wide open space, the Longhorn cattle and the cowboys. Through my mission, I came to love the people in such a way that I have seen Texas differently ever since.
