Justin Barton interviews Croft Christensen on the Can You Feel So Now? podcast about his two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, beginning with Spanish training in the Mexico City MTC (Feb–Apr 2024), proselyting in Santiago, Chile (Apr–Dec 28, 2024), and finishing with a service assignment in Spokane, Washington after a hip injury, surgery, and rehab (Dec 2024–Feb 2026). Croft shares his initial peace upon receiving his Chile call, then his struggle, prayer, and fasting as he accepted staying home to serve, drawing on Elder Bednar’s teaching about being called to serve and assigned to a place. He discusses guilt about leaving a trainee, lessons from President Roseland on intentional obedience and serving Christ, differences in accountability as a service missionary, why service missions are equal, and his testimony of scripture study, revelation, Christ’s love, and a change of heart tied to Alma 5:26.
