Dossan Bell

My name is Dossan Bell, and I’m 19 years old. I was born and raised in Ogden, Utah, where I learned the importance of faith, family, and hard work. I’m a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and I believe with all my heart that God has a plan for each and every one of us. Last year, I joined a boy band called Full Circle Boys, which has been an incredible journey filled with music, growth, and connection. Every step I take is guided by my faith, and I’m committed to using my voice to inspire others and share hope.

Euan Maxton

My name is Euan Maxton I’m 19 and I live in Dundee, Scotland. Being a member of our church is a big part of my life as it helps me to connect with Heavenly Father and others who share a testimony of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I enjoy staying active. I like running which helps me to be more competitive when playing (real) football which I play often. I especially enjoy coming together as a stake and competing against each other. Currently I am working at Asda which is our equivalent to Walmart in Scotland. However, this year my hope is to move forward to University here in Scotland or if the opportunity arises to go and serve a full time mission. I enjoy serving with the missionaries in our ward. I am staying hopeful that as I continue to be faithful I will be prepared to go and serve the Lord.
