1. Help Support my Mission!
Jayden Nelson is organizing this fundraiser.
I am preparing to go on a mission for the LDS church. I just earned my Eagle, I am in my last year of seminary, and I love the idea of sharing the gospel with people throughout the world. I have been saving for many years, but I have come upon a problem. My teeth. I have had some issues with straightening my teeth, and especially after my bike accident in 2012, I need braces.
This year has been a challenge for my parents financially with my brother needing to stay in the hospital for a month and my new baby sister. They are stretched to the limit, and braces just aren't something they can take care of right now. So, I am left with the decision of delaying my mission till I can fix my teeth, or asking for help from my family, friends, and community. My bishop suggested that I start a funding campaign on the internet, so here I am.
I know there are many worthy causes out there. With or without your support, I pledge to prepare myself well for my mission. I am studying the scriptures and getting used to talking to people, as well as studying Spanish and German so that I can hopefully utilize one of those languages on my mission.
With your support, I will be prepared much sooner to head out into the mission field and share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are so many waiting to hear about their Savior. Please help me be a messenger for the Lord to share this message. Thank you for your support!
