Brother Hales is still relatively new to the Order. After his mission, he attended BYU to become an institute teacher and taught at the Mission Training Center (MTC) to earn a few extra credit hours.
It didn’t take long before he caught the attention of the Brethren serving in the MTC leadership.
Elder Nicola had a bounce in his step. Being an inducted member of the Order gave him a sense of security and joy he could not have anticipated.
