Hi Everyone,
Today Sept. 4, they said here at the MTC they were expecting several hundred new missionaries and would we "stay out of the way".
This week we are in classes from "Preach My Gospel", learning to be real missionaries. Our group of 127 Senior Missionaries was only one short of the record for the largest group ever.
Last night we attended the regular Tuesday night MTC Devotional. The speaker was David L Evans of the Seventy. He spoke about the amazing expansion of Missionary work and how they arrived at the decision to lower the age requirement. He said in every other dispensation the Prophets asked for more time. In this last dispensation the Prophet asked for more servants because the time is short. And they came! By October Conference they expect to have 85,000 missionaries in the field.
This is a humbling experience to feel the level of excitement and commitment of everyone here. Hope we can live up to the high level of expectations.
Sister Austin
