What an incredible experience we had at the Provo Missionary Training Center! The Spirit there is so strong. We made many new friends and we were filled with excitement to be on the Lord's errand. Seeing 2,000 young missionaries there preparing to serve Him all over the world, and rubbing shoulders with 108 senior missionaries also preparing to serve Him all over the world was such a wonderful experience. This is truly a great and marvelous work.
We are now in Salt Lake City awaiting our training at the Office of the General Counsel before we fly to Guatemala on Friday. Today is Saturday, but we arose and dressed in our missionary dress with our missionary badges, and while we were eating breakfast at the hotel, I had several missionary moments there with hotel staff. It is great to be the Lord's representative and be a missionary 24/7.
Of all the great experiences over the past week, the greatest of all for me was the tender mercy of teaching the Gospel with my companion, Hermana Smith. She is such a beautiful and wonderful teacher of truth. You all would be so proud of her if you could watch her teach and bear testimony of Jesus Christ. She will be a great and powerful missionary! I love being her companion.

ReplyDeleteIt is so wonderful to picture you two in your missionary badges. You both have so much love, worthwhile experience and wisdom, and talent to share! The world will be blessed by your service because every individual life you touch raises the whole world up.
