Mission Call


Dear Sister Lisa Sharilynn Garlock, you are hereby called to serve for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter days, you will labor in the Scotland/Ireland Mission. You will prepare to teach the Gospel in English. You will report to the England Missionary Training Center on Septemeber 16th, 2011. It is estimated that you will labor for 18 months.

YES, YES,YES! Are you shocked? Don't worry so was I. If you look on the map my mission is colored Green and Rust Orange! I am SO excited! When I read where I was serving I knew the Lord knew the desire of my heart and I knew that the apostles were intuned with the spirit when they assigned my call. My first thought was "How did that happen, I don't even have red hair!" Yes it was a stereotypical thought, but hey sometimes you  can't help the first thought that comes into your mind.

 I feel at peace knowing where I'm going. The anticipation was killing me, I have never liked anticipation and this was probably the experience that gave me the most anxiety. I'm just glad I finally know where the Lord wants me.

I feel so grateful for the wonderful people that are in my life and what a great influence you have on me. Thank you for keeping me worthy to do the Lord's work.
