Merry Christmas from the Florida Jacksonville Mission!

With remarkable dedication and inspiring faith, the missionaries of the Florida Jacksonville Mission accomplished their goal of baptizing and confirming at least 650 converts during 2008! 

Thank you for your love and prayers of faith.  We wish you a blessed Christmas.

                                                          ~ President & Sister Newman
