Doctrine & Covenants 31:3
For our departing missionaries, it feels like that "hour" flew by! It is hard to believe that the months and years of full-time missionary service are complete...although a lifetime of missionary work lies wonderfully ahead.
We are deeply grateful for this group of about-to-be RMs. They have walked and taught and searched and prayed and yearned and smiled and been willing servants of the Savior as they declared "glad tidings of great joy unto this generation."
We thank them for choosing to be missionaries and for the deep footprints they've left here.

What an incredibly full and special day.
The sun never sets on the work of the Lord.
"For behold, the field is white already to harvest; and lo,
he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might,
the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not,
but bringeth salvation to his soul."
