Finding the One: Elder Street • Has anxiety and did not think he could serve a mission • He and his parents were unaware of a service mission • His patriarchal blessing states: • He would serve a mission • He would bless many people and they will honor his name through eternities. • He now serves in both the Records Operations Center and Deseret Industries as the lead service missionary We are convinced that there is at least one Elder Street in every stake. We need help in finding them. 3
