The California Santa Rosa Mission

California Santa Rosa 2018-2020

Hi My name is CJ Tobian and I served a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints for two years. While I was a Missionary I had the most amazing opportunity to hear all these amazing stories from these Elders and Sisters I served around and as we traveled to film these stories we were able to feel a special peace. As you listen to these incredible stories you will also be able to feel the same spirit that we felt. A special shout out goes to Eastin Hartzell, Trevor Brown, Vanessa Hill and Jada Gonzales and many many more for their help making all these amazing videos!
