Go Forth

"Hearken, O ye [Elder Erickson, Sister Gilbert, Sister Patton],who have given your names to go forth to proclaim my gospel...it is my will that you should go forth and not tarry, neither be idle but labor with your might-lifting up your voices as with a sound of a trump, proclaiming the truth..." Doctrine and Covenants 75:2-4

Don't they look ready to go?  I love picking up new missionaries at the airport.  Their emotions are close to the surface. They are excited, nervous, and anxious to get going.

This was a small group this time but they are so prepared and ready. They feel urgent, they don't want to be idle but are anxious to labor and proclaim the truth. The Lord is so pleased with them. New missionaries are the life blood of the mission!

If you want to read what blessing these missionaries will receive by being faithful on their missions read D&C 75:5.  Wow!
