Justin Barton interviews Calie Tueller from Mesa, Arizona, who is leaving for the MTC on August 4, 2025, after being called to the Morristown, New Jersey Mission of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which also covers parts of upstate New York. Calie shares how watching her brother serve and witnessing a long-time family friend finally choose baptism during her senior year inspired her to serve, and how a year of college, a YSA ward calling as ward missionary, and gospel conversations at school prepared her. She discusses nerves about leaving home and learning to recognize the Spirit, plus excitement to love and serve new people. Calie describes increasing scripture study, prayer, and temple attendance, hopes for stronger testimony and lifelong discipleship, plans to face hard times by turning to Christ, and reflects on D&C 4, focusing on patience, diligence, and choosing the desire to serve.
