Hey Sister Call, this is Toni Ogden from Las Vegas. Your son Elder Call is in our ward and he is absolutely the best missionary! The whole ward just adores him and Elder Rabago. My kids say they are the best elders we’ve ever had! We’ve been so lucky to have been able to sit in on lessons with them as they have been teaching the Bovills’ and Aubrey in our ward. So in April our ward didn’t have much going on missionary work wise so Elder Call and Rabago asked the Bishop to meet with them and they asked him what we could do as a ward to help them with their work. After praying about it with the bishop they decided on our ward having a ward fast for us all the find those looking for the gospel. A couple weeks later Aubrey started coming and then the Bovills. The power of fasting is so cool and how amazing that they sought out to meet with the Bishop to address this and come up with a plan. Seriously you have got to be so proud of how great Elder Call is, he has the strongest testimony and is so good with the investigators. I’m sad that moms can’t see their missionaries in action. I have a son that is going to be a senior in high school and he is planning on serving a mission next summer when he graduates. I am always telling him that Elder Call is the kind of missionary you want to be like. He and Elder Rabago are so obedient, when it’s approaching 9:20 and we are in lesson they let us know they need to hurry and get home by 9:30 :) He was so cute a couple weeks ago when I was cutting the elders hair, he said “Sister Ogden this is my last haircut before I go home so make me look good!” A few weeks ago they taught young women’s on missionary work and did such a good job! I could go on and on. I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful missionary your son was and thank you for sacrificing him for 2 years! I’m sure you are counting down the hours until you get to hug him on Wednesday, I’m so excited for you and your family! I’m tearing up just thinking about your reunion! As a mom I can’t imagine how hard it is to have your son gone for 2 years! Tomorrow night a few of us are getting together and having dessert with him and Elder Rabago and a new member lesson with the Bovills. We are so sad to see him leave but so excited for you and your family! Elder Call has definitely touched so many lives!
Love,
Toni Ogden

Hi Sister Call!!
We wanted to take just a minute and let you know of the outstanding job your son Ben did here on his mission.
We knew there was something extraordinary about him from the first moment we met. He was strong and kind, humble and capable, and filled with a desire to be obedient and hardworking. Our youngest son, Cooper is almost 17. He’s preparing to serve his mission in the next few years. I could not have asked for a better example of a diligent missionary than Elders Call and Rabago. What a team! They were literally unstoppable!
I know the Lord was waiting for those two missionaries to serve in the Durango Heights Ward to teach our friends Chris and Cipriana. We have been inviting and fellowshipping them for FOUR YEARS! It was an almost immediate change in their level of investigation when they met our Elders. I know that they are forever changed because of the faithfulness of Call and Rabago.
We are so happy that you get to see him again, but boy!….we are so sad to see him go! He’s such an incredible young man!! Please post or send pics of his homecoming. We would all LOVE to see that!
Lots of love to the Call family!!!!
Love,
Amy, Tim, Cooper and Harry Weiland
