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.

Highlights

Landon has had a great 2nd week in the missionfield. It is so wonderful to hear how he is seeing growth in himself already. He says he is already 10 times better this week than last. There are plenty of teaching appointments and opportunities to split off with others to increase the amount of work. Currently he and Elder Gandolph have 18 investigators that are scheduled for baptism. That is wonderful news and each is a beloved son or daughter of Heavenly Father so I am sure he is excited too.

The weather has been exciting to say the least. It snowed for three days and the attic has no heat. Sleeping requires a long sleeve shirt, sweat shirt and pants. They have even been riding their bikes in the snow. A welcome change came as Elder Winters did a spit assignment with the zone leaders on Friday. They have a heated apartment so he enjoyed a warm bed and full size shower yeah!!!

P-Day brought a free round of golf on a beautiful course. Not sure other missionaries would like to hear that. He had a great time though.

If you would like to write to him he would love to hear from you. Send the letters to the mission home and they forward them the day they arrive. The address is on the blog.

The full letter is posted below if you would like all the details.

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.
