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.

Rebecca Let Them Come Back

This was the best news this week. Even though Elder Winters witnessed the baptism of Kaycee

and had interviews with President Pitts, whom he absolutely loves, hearing that Rebecca allowed the missionaries back into her home was amazing. She needs to work out her salvation on her own. Hopefully lessons were learned by all and love can take the place of anger and bad feelings. I am just so happy for all involved.

Also this week, we met with Rebecca again. In fact it was last night. We kind of just gave her the week to cool off and she did... however she went to the doctor this week to find out that her stomach is not right and that she has ulcers... So that’s a shame. But we talked last night and just told her that this is her salvation and she can’t let anything anyone says get in the way. And she agreed with us too. I guess this lady said some pretty hurtful things to Rebecca and I guess Rebecca said some pretty blunt things to elder Raimondi when he came by on the split, so much so that she was worried that we wouldn’t come back again. So just to see how relieved she was that we came back and that we care about her and to see how humble and apologetic she was made it all worth it. She wants this, and she knows that God wants this for her, and she is well aware that Satan does not. Her attitude is just amazing and I really respect this woman and the fight she has in her. I really can’t wait to see her get baptized and change her life. I know that God is preparing this woman to have one of the strongest testimonies on the face of the earth, and believe me in a couple of years, she will!

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.
