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.

Manti Pageant

The missionaries from the Provo Mission are invited to travel to Manti Utah to work at the annual pageant. Elder Winters said that he knows why companionships only have two elders - they have too much fun if there are more. The missionaries traveled to Manti and stayed at the Pageant Presidents home. There were 12 Elders all trying to get ready at the same time and go to the same place. A fella has to get a little creative at times.

Once the missionaries arrived at the temple grounds there was plenty of work to do. Elder Winters said that the spirit there was amazing and the elders were blessed with so many referrals. The experience was fun for the missionaries but richly rewarding as well. Elder Winters hopes to return next year to help out as well.
It was a goal of Elder Winters to attend this temple but with the work to do at the pageant there was no time. We will make it happen later if it doesn't happen in the next 22 months.










One of the best parts of being at the pageant was working with all of the other missionaries. Elder Winters has found a lot in common with Elder Williams and he really enjoys serving with him. They have enjoyed doing splits together and serving here in Manti was no different.

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.
