This is a very moving video which I'm watching in the Spirit of the Sabbath day. I love to see both boys so touched and filled with emotion. It's hard to describe the feelings of receiving one's call. A mix of excitement, fear and emotion. May the Lord bless these and every young LDS man and woman who give of themselves to building the Kingdom of God and bless the lives of people everywhere through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I still bless the names of those who taught me 35 years ago!

My father served as an LDS missionary in Chile 50 years ago when it was just the Chile mission. It is amazing to see the growth from then until now. My son went on a mission to Mexico City East that same year, but left the MTV a month before your boys arrived. Thanks for sharing an inspirational time with your family!

CONGRATULATIONS on your mission calls!!!! 7 years ago my twin sister and I also went on missions the same day. I went to Indianapolis Indiana and my sister went to Atlanta Georgia. Remember that you will be following in the footsteps of the gratest missionary and you will be wearing His name on your badge every day. Good luck!!!!!

The other news was pretty huge too... We had never told them which twin was born first (i.e. older). Years ago we promised we would tell them which twin was born first when they got their mission calls! Turns out that Preston was born first....and as fate would have it, he won the coin toss to open his call first.

I served in the Chile Santiago South Mission (Currently Chile Rancagua Mission) from 2000-2002. Such a beautiful country with loving people. I'm sure these guys had a blast. I sure did. Chile and its people will always hold a special place in my heart. :)

They are doing great. Their missions were an amazing experience! We went to pick them up in Chile in Nov. of 2010, and to meet many of the people they taught the gospel of Jesus Christ, which was phenomenal. They are both at BYU. Dalton is in a serious relationship, and Preston is very eligible. Preston currently teaches new missionaries Spanish at the Missionary Training Center (MTC).

I totally cried watching this. My twin sons are 13 and I hope they are both worthy and willing to serve in five years when they turn 18! This video also gave me hope that the Church will be thoughtful when assigning my boys' calls. What a blessing it would be for them to serve in the same country, experience many of the same (but still different) things, and to report to the MTC on the same day! I don't know if that's the norm for twins, but I can hope! ((hugs))

Thank you very much for replying. If possible, it'd be super nice to have a video where the twins talk about their life after their mission. When I see Preston's emotional reaction I get teary too. The following is for them: Queridos hermanos Preston y Dalton. Felicidades por su servicio y gracias por aceptar el llamado del Señor para predicar en Chile. No se olviden de sus conversos y manténganse en contacto con ellos. A 36 años de mi bautismo, todavía escribo al misionero que me bautizó.

My dad's friends daughter, has an LDS friend, and when they were 12, which was the minimum age, they both went to one of those camps and cindy could invite someone along and she invited taylor, and when taylors sis came of age, cindy also invited her too, and i guess u could only invite one person, & i guess they made an exception since madison was taylors sis. every year the camp they went to was like a different theme every year as well

+Tecnovlog This is a moment they have been greatly anticipating for their whole lives - when they learn when and where they will completely dedicate 2 full years of their lives to serve God and to teach His gospel to others. It is a time of great sacrifice and devotion. It is deeply moving to learn that God has a plan for you personally and individually. He has a plan for every single one of us. The question we must each ask ourselves is "Do we have enough faith in Him to do it?"
