Becoming a Missionary

My beloved brethren, you and I, today and always, are to bless all peoples in all the nations of the earth. You and I, today and always, are to bear witness of Jesus Christ and declare the message of the Restoration. You and I, today and always, are to invite all to receive the ordinances of salvation. Proclaiming the gospel is not a part-time priesthood obligation. It is not simply an activity in which we engage for a limited time or an assignment we must complete as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Rather, missionary work is a manifestation of our spiritual identity and heritage. We were foreordained in the premortal existence and born into mortality to fulfill the covenant and promise God made to Abraham. We are here upon the earth at this time to magnify the priesthood and to preach the gospel. That is who we are, and that is why we are here--today and always.

a visit to West Coast Customs

Elder McNew has grown a lot but he hasn't changed much.  Half of the pictures he sends me are of cool trucks and cars he sees on his mission. The other half are of him riding bikes or skateboards.  Ha ha.  There are a few of him and his companions or investigators, but not many!  Here he is on a trip to West Coast Customs.  I'm sure that was an amazing experience for him!
