Receiving My Call to Serve

It probably took me longer than anyone else in the history of missionary service to decide that I was going on a mission. I had never been one of those girls that couldn’t wait to be 19, so that I could serve a mission. I had been planning my future since before I can remember and a mission just wasn’t in the cards… or so I thought! After I graduated I moved to Logan, Utah and attended Utah State University. I loved living in Logan, attending classes and institute and working; I couldn’t have asked for anything more! Eventually it became evident that “because I have been given much I too must give”. And although I was a little resistant to the idea at first, it didn’t take long before I experienced a change of heart and the only thing that I wanted to do was serve a mission. Finally, after a few minor setbacks my papers were submitted and I received my mission call on September 8, 2015 to the Italy Rome Mission. When I turned my call over and began to read I saw my mission assignment out of the corner of my eye. I immediately began to do this laugh/cry thing. I just didn’t know how to express what I was feeling. All I had prayed for was that I would have the opportunity to learn another language and that when I opened my call I would have a reassurance that I had been divinely called to serve in that place and that I would love the people there. I feel so blessed (and spoiled to be honest!) I am so grateful and excited and couldn’t be happier to be serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Hi I'm Jordan Hatfield

I'm an Idaho girl who loves to laugh! I'm a student, CNA, and future missionary called to the Italy Rome Mission! I'm a Mormon!

About Me

I grew up in Idaho as the oldest of four kids! I am the biggest fan of two younger brothers who have shared their love for football and baseball with me and a little sister with the biggest smile and best dance moves. My dad is the greatest man I know and I live for the late night 80's music jam sessions with him. My mom is my greatest example of love and all of my cooking knowledge comes directly from her! Now I live in Logan, Utah where I'm a sophomore at Utah State University. I've always had a curiosity for the medical field and a love for nursing, but have recently discovered a passion for interior design... so like many students I don't know what exactly I want to study! I love the outdoors in the spring, summer, and fall and the indoors in the winter! I'm an avid traveller and love meeting new people, learning about their cultures, and trying to speak their language! Most of all I love my family, friends, Savior Jesus Christ, Heavenly Father, and the Gospel!

Why I Am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I choose to be! I strive everyday to pray to my Heavenly Father to strengthen my relationship with Him so that He can guide my life not only for my own well being, but for the well being of those around me that I love. The gospel of Jesus Christ gives me peace in the moment and hope for the future. I know that I can be with my family for eternity and what greater blessing is there than that?! I know that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, our Savior, we can be redeemed and live in His presence and the presence of loving Heavenly Parents. I know that Christ lives and that He loves us and wants nothing more than for us to choose to follow the example that He has set for us. The gospel of Jesus Christ is true and was restored by the Prophet Joseph Smith in the latter-days. I have a testimony that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that we continue to receive the word of God today through a living prophet Thomas S. Monson. I am a Mormon because I know that there is more to life than just enjoying the experiences we have, but that everything this world has to offer relates back to Jesus Christ and has an eternal purpose. I'm a Mormon. I know it. I live it. I LOVE it.

How I Live My Faith

I currently serve in my Young Single Adult ward as a visiting teacher! I love the girls I go visit every month and enjoy teaching them, but also learning from their sweet spirits! We really are daughters of a loving Heavenly Father and I feel that when I am privileged to serve His daughters and my sisters. In past years I served in Family History, which holds a big piece of my heart! There is nothing more rewarding than finding lost loved ones and reuniting them with their families for eternity through baptism and temple ordinances. I am preparing to serve as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Italy Rome Mission. (27 days to go!)
