Ariel Velasco Tatuil said his father, a BYU–Hawaii alumnus, set an example for him of returning home after graduation to serve the Indonesian people. Although his father had an opportunity to work in the United States, he said he decided to return to his homeland to serve his family and the Church.
Some of his father’s jobs after graduation included managing an English tutoring company and translating for the Church. Tatuil said with four other people, he also helped revise the Book of Mormon in Indonesian.
