Chamado a Servir em a Missão de Brasil Santos.
 
This is Moroni Kocinba.  He is a faithful young man from Beja.  We have been privileged to work with him as he prepared for and served a mini-mission here in Portugal a few months ago.  His father is also a good friend and has served in several positions in the Church.  His father also served his mission in Brasil several years ago.  Moroni will be serving in the São Paulo área of Brasil in Santos.  He called us this morning so excited to receive his papers and start preparing to leave.  He leaves the first part of September.  We are so excited for him and know that he will do well.  It is especially fun to see second generation faithful Mormons and the results of the wonderful blessings the Lord pours out on those that serve him.  This is a picture of Paula working with him on applications to attend BYU when he returns from his mission.
 

 
 
 
 
This is Moroni´s father on a service project with us at the beginning of our mission in Beja.  Brother Kocinba has been such a wonderful example for Moroni and we know how excited he is right now to see his son following in his footsteps.  When we go to Moroni´s farewell in a couple of months we will update this blog.

  1. That is very cool! You'll have to let him know that Jared served in Brazil too. How exciting and wonderful for him!
