My name is RJ Smith.
My name is RJ Smith
or Elder Smith now.
I'm a member of the Church
the Latter-Day Saints
or you can use the
acronym IDS if you wish.
I'm 20 years old.
And in two days, I will
leave for my mission.
This is my mother,
my father
and my sister Mary Anne.
We are told at a young age
that it is our duty as men.
We are told at a young age
that it is our duty as men
to serve God in two
years in missionary service.
Mormons are told, if you serve
our mission faithfully,
and well, you will be
a better husband,
father, student and a
better worker
in your chosen vocation.
I've been brought
up to believe this.
I know the Church is true.
And I say these things in
the name of Jesus Christ,
amen.
This is my farewell party.
This is my girlfriend Elise.
We've never done
anything past a few pecks,
some nuzzling and
some dry humping.
She's a real sweetheart.
This is how I
end every night...
with a prayer.
This is how I
begin every morning...
still praying.
John!
Hey, thanks for coming.
I appreciate it.
I appreciate it.
Enjoy that food.
It's great to see you.
Remember when he was this tall?
Yeah.
Whatever, you're-
you're looking great.
And he's gonna be
quite the world's traveler.
Family home evening:
Food, board games,
charades, scripture reading.
Mormon faith truly is a
benefactor of wholesomeness.

This is the MTC,
or "Missionary Training Center".
Where elders prepare
for the mission field.
At first, I held some
animosity about only going
six hours away from
home from my mission work.
Six hours away from
home from my mission work.
But I realized,
our Heavenly Father
has sent me there for a reason.
That's the building.
How was the bus ride?
Good.
whole way but, you know...
You get your own set of keys.
So bathroom...
closet.
This is it.
Yeah, kitchen in there.
It's perfect.
Yeah. It's a great
neighborhood too.
You'll love it.
So, I hear you're
quite the athlete.
Uh, I'm okay.
said don't be so modest.
You're not that
great, you know?
So, this is Elder Merrill's
bed and this one is yours,
so keep it tidy.
Where is Elder
Merrill by the way?
Uh, he's should
be in a meeting.
But, uh, you'll
meet him soon enough.
So, tell me about
him. What's he like?
So, tell me about
him. What's he like?
Elder Merrill?
Um, his father is the
member of the first quorum,
but I'm sure you
already knew that.
Um, he reads a lot.
He eats "Lucky Charms" like
they're going out of style.
I don't... is it... is
there something specific
you want to know?
No, I was just wondering.
Oh.
Well, you'll meet
him soon enough.
But sometimes, companionships
don't work out.
If that's the case, then,
we'll find somebody you are
more compatible with or you
can just wait a few months
and you may have a new
mission companion anyhow.
Hey.
Hey.
Elder Harris.
And you must be
my new companion.
Uh, Elder Smith.
Yes.
And you must be Elder Merrill.
Yeah, that's me.
Glad to meet you.
Yeah, a little.
Well, I should let you
guys get more acquainted.
I look forward to getting
your reports
and I'm sure I'll
see you around.
Goodbye, Elder Harris.
Thanks for the ride.
No problem.
He's nice.
Yeah.
I have to tell you how
happy I am to be here...
very excited.
Uh, I'm also looking forward to
starting my missionary work.
Good.

this companionship off
with a prayer?
Yes, definitely.
