Yesterday was Zone Conference and we sat next to a man who had already been on a mission about 30 years ago. He had only been a member 16 months when he got his mission call. Since he is Spanish/Indian he wanted to go on a Spanish speaking mission. But he was called on a mission to Scotland! Being new in the church he took his call to his Bishop and said he wanted to send it back and get a new one. After the Bishop called him to repentance and explained that this was a call from the Prophet, the man named Tom DeDios, accepted the call and went to Scotland.
While there they found a group of refugees from Chile. He was the only missionary in Scotland at that time that spoke Spanish! And so he taught and participated in baptizing enough people that they started a Branch there in Scotland!
How fun it must be for the Lord when He orchestrates these kinds of miracles. I'll go where you want me to go dear Lord, I'll be what you want me to be.
