=='''Church Service Mission Opportunity of the Week'''==
We are currently looking for two or three individuals to serve as Telephone Inventory Specialists. This position is 15-20 hours a week in the Riverton Office Building and involves working with headquarters departments, facilities managers, stakes, and wards to account for telecommunications services and associated costs. You would be spending a lot of time on the phone talking to people all around the country, as well as working with team members to analyze inventories, maintain contract information, and maintain billing records.
The good news is that you don’t have to be a technical geek—the most important thing is excellent communication skills, both verbal and written. Some basic computer skills will be needed, especially familiarity with Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel. If this sounds like where you need to be, please fill out the LDSTech Missionary and Service Opportunities form (link below). For further information, click on Opportunity number 12104 below or call Sister Bottorff at 801-240-7373.

# Upon receiving the completed recommendation forms, the bishop certifies your worthiness and concurs with the selected choice for service. He then signs the form and forwards it to the stake president.
# The stake president interviews you for worthiness, signs the recommendation form, and forwards it to the local Church-service missionary coordinator's office for review, for entry into the database, and for authorization to extend the call.
# The coordinator advises the stake president by letter when the processing is complete, and the stake president extends the call to the member. The stake president authorizes the bishop to set the new missionary apart.
# Church-service missionaries should then contact the operation where they will be serving. They are supervised and trained under the direction of the operation in which they serve. The stake president and bishop remain the ecclesiastical leaders for the member.

==Backlogs ==
If you've inquired about a mission or already submitted your papers and haven't heard back from LDSTech yet, please be patient. As we work to manage the numerous inquiries for LDSTech Church-service missions, we have found more interest than we have current opportunities for. This has been a pleasant surprise. More opportunities are being created on a regular basis. We will continue to do our best to match current opportunities with those who have matching skills and availability.

Most importantly, if you feel prompted to serve, don’t wait for us -– reach out and remind us of your desire to serve. When you do, please include a brief description of your availability and technical experience and skills. Many opportunities require service to be done at the Riverton, UT office building. If you have strong interest in one of the following opportunities, please let one of us know.

* Testers
* Software Developers
* Interaction Designers
* Writers
* Project Managers
* Business Analysts

If you are not able to serve at the [[Riverton Office Building]], but are still interested in an LDSTech Church-service mission, please be patient with us as we try to find more opportunities to serve from home. These opportunities will grow over time and we are excited about the growth.
