The Time Has Come

"Dear Elder Forrester,

You are hereby called to serve as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the California Sacramento Mission....

Your purpose will be to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement...

Greater blessings and more happiness than you have yet experienced await you as you humbly and prayerfully serve the Lord in this labor of love among His children...

Sincerely,
Thomas S. Monson, President
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints



"Now behold, a marvelous work is about to come forth among the children of men. Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day. Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work." D&C 4:1-3

A Miracle For Me At The MTC!

While Timothy was in Provo for training, I found out from a distant cousin that she had a nephew who had also entered the MTC to learn Spanish for his mission in Boston. My cousin, Kim Bowen, is related to me on my mom's side of the family. Interestingly, Kim and I have never met. We began writing to each other many years ago when she was a teenager who was seeking help in researching her family tree. We have kept in touch on and off over the years, and now found ourselves with missionaries at the same facility at the same time! It was not easy feat for them to find each other, but I prayed fervently and it happened! This is a picture of these Elder Cousins....can you see the family resemblance?
