June 16, 2013 - Letter from President Morby


Dear Elder and Sisters, 

 It is late night and I have a flood of emotions as I write to you all tonight. Tomorrow we will all gather as the OPM. History will be made as the beginning of the new missions will begin on July 1st. So we have a lot of work to do between now and then so do not waste any time in the next two weeks and beyond.  

 From our Mission Tour with Elder Whiting we learned that the number one chapter in Preach My Gospel that we need help in is Chapter One... The Missionary Purpose. I know you can all quote it, but is it a part of your life?  We learned how simple the pathway is to the highest kingdom in the Celestial Kingdom which is by our Faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end, the endowment in the temple with our family, qualifies us for exaltation. This doctrine we teach is not only for our investigators but for us as well. Study Chapter One as well as the other chapters noted in the information below for our zone conferences. We still have much to do, so practice what we preach and endure to the end and then we are off to new beginning. 

 Go forth no matter what mission you are in with obedience, diligence and nothing but hard work. Be an example of what we are called to do and who we represent. Teach and preach like never before. No matter what Mission President looks at your picture on the transfer board in the office, be the kind missionary that can be placed anywhere with anyone. Be the missionary that a Mission President will be able to trust.  For those who need to make a new resolve to be a better and be more obedient as a missionary then do it! For those who do not need to have a new start then “carry on”. Be the missionary that makes good things happen, with a positive attitude. 

We love you all and will look forward to an eternal relationship with each of you.

      

 President and Sister Morby
