Favorite Scripture

Alma 29:9,10
I know that which the Lord hath cammanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.

And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which he extended towards me.

Let's Get Ready To Go

It was an adventure getting ready to go. Our first stop was to find a great alteration shop so that we could get just the right fit for all of the suits. Landon's favorite suit was a Goodwill find and now with a little alteration it is perfection. We took all of the shirts to the laundry just so they could start this adventure fully starched and pressed. Who knows what they will look like in a month or two. Landon decided a while ago that he no longer liked the dryer look for shirts so here is hoping that the apartment has an iron for him.
All of the medical is complete as there are no additional shots to line up - or at least that is what we thought. It is less than a week until departure and Landon tells mom that he has hurt his wrist playing Ultimate Frisbee. Knowing that Landon never complains unless things are really bad I had reason for concern. It did not swell but his range of motion was compromised. He waited a day or two then arranged for an x-ray. GREAT NEWS - it is not broken. Thanks to a little massage it is improving just in time. The challenge of the last week home - keep Landon's activity to a minimum. Is he going to co-operate? Probably not, but he has agreed to be a little more cautious.
Some how Landon made time for all that wanted to spend a few minutes with him. We did temple work, lunches, rock climbing, ultimate Frisbee, disc golf and even managed to spend some time in Preach My Gospel. Phone calls were made and fortunately all four grandparents were able to hear from Landon before he said farewell. Thank you son and Good Work!

From Wyomings boarder to the four corners and into Colorado and Arizona there is work to do.

A little history of the UTAH, PROVO MISSION

In the late 1970's there was only one mission in Utah. As the work grew the mission was divided into areas to cover the North and South of the state. On January 1, 1989 the Utah, Provo mission was formed from a division of the Salt Lake City North and South missions. President Magnusson was called to open the mission. Today President Neil Pitts serves as President.


The area the mission currently covers was for the most part in the former Utah, Salt Lake City South Mission. During the time President Humphreys lead the mission, it was expanded to include Blanding, Monticello and Montezuma Creek. At this point the mission area took in all of Utah south of the Uintah Mountians.


With the creation of the Utah Salt Lake City South Mission the northern area of the mission was altered slightly. In addition Panaca and Mesquite Nevada were moved to the Nevada, Las Vegas Mission.


On July 1, 2010 the Utah Provo Mission was divided again. In this split the Utah, St George Mission was created. There are a large number on non-members that live in the St. George area and more are moving in. As you can see from the map below the Utah, Provo Mission will cover a realtively small area but there will still be much work to do.
