Missionary Called to Japan

8/1/2013

0 Comments

 
A.J. Parks, of Forest City, is like most teenagers. He has a job, loves music, modern technology and all the frills that life has to offer, but he will leave it all behind in August to start a two-year mission in Tokyo, Japan, for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Like all Latter-day Saint missionaries, Parks will serve without pay from the Church. His financial support will come from funds he and his parents have saved for that purpose.

He joins thousands of other Latter-day Saint missionaries who are serving in locations in North and South America, Africa, Asia and Europe teaching about the gospel of Jesus Christ. They do not choose their area of labor, but go where they are called by the Church.

Before traveling to the Tokyo mission, Parks will spend 8 weeks undergoing training in the Japanese language at the Missionary Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah.

Parks is a 2012 graduate of Chase High School and is looking forward to the experience his mission and living in another country will provide.
