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.

Stand Up Showers

Hey!

So I finally get to email today.... Haha it was a kind of crazy week and a half. No baptisms this last week unfortunately... But we have been seeing some progress in some of our new investigators! So that is always a good thing!

Hmmm... What else happened last week... Well, we moved into a new house! It is awesome! It’s a Three Bedroom, Two Bathroom house on the very North end of Payson on the Church's Valley Farm. The Farm is owned by a member but he donates a good portion of his land to the church for gardening! He said we have free range over the garden to pick and eat at our pleasure. haha! We haven’t taken him up on the offer yet, but I imagine I will sometime in the near future! But seriously, the House is like a guest house on the farm, and it is huge! And it has 2 standing up showers! Showers where you can stand up! It’s Awesome! So yeah the whole moving and cleaning the old place ate up a good portion of our time for two days and so the missionary work was a bit slow this week, but the house is great, so we are not complaining.

Also today at our District Training meeting we found out that we are going to be able to attend the Manti Pageant this year!


I think it’s on the 18th and supposedly it is a pretty big deal to the People in Utah! So I’m excited to see that Temple, but a little bummed because I guess we are not going to have a whole lot of extra time to actually go inside the temple and do a session or anything. AND... We will also be marching in the Provo Parade on the 4th/5th of July! And yeah I guess being a missionary in this parade is a pretty big deal as well! Haha.

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.
