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.

Halloween in Alpine

Halloween in Alpine was celebrated on Saturday night. Here are some pics and details of missionary celebrations.


He helped with the meal prep by grating the cheese. Elder Winters says being able to grate cheese will get him a woman when he gets home. I didn't know that was what I was training him for with all the cheese grating I asked him to do here at home.

Halloween was pretty awesome here in Alpine. We got the night off so that way president wouldn’t get any calls about missionaries trick or treating, and we got together with our district and spent our night with the Boshard’s (Alec and Chase's family- the kids we got baptized last transfer).

We were able to watch Invictus (which was approved by President Pitts) in the Boshard’s theater room and it was so awesome! I really liked the movie and it was on blu-ray, so it couldn’t have been any better! After the movie they ordered us a bunch of pizza and we played pool for a bit.




From previous experience it seemed possible that the zenti made it on the mission but I did not really know for sure until now. Elder Z made a return appearance October 31, 2010. It would have been fun to be a fly on the wall and see the reaction of the district and the Boshard's.

Later we sat around the fire in their backyard and ate smores! It was an awesome night! Also last Monday we spent the day carving pumpkins with the district with the Whipple family (who is awesome! I love this family!) and I'll send you some pics of my pumpkin later! The pumpkin was so hard to carve tho... It's shell was like a rock on the outside!

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.
