"There is no reason to let anything stop me," Elder McCallister told the Arizona Daily Star last year.
Prior to his mission service, Elder McCallister won second place in the state high school wrestling championship, hiked 50 miles along the Pacific Crest Trail, played on the University of Arizona wheelchair basketball team and completed the Boston Marathon.
