New Sisters

Well, here they are!!! Our first wave of Sister Missionaries and they are amazingly powerful. We couldn't be more pleased. There is a phrase that John the Revelator uses to describe the resurrected Lord. He said Christ was full of "grace and truth". This same phrase comes to mind as I watch these beautiful daughters of God, sisters in the truest sense and powerful Disciples of Jesus Christ. In the modern definition of the word "grace" it means "charm and refinement". They indeed are that but a more vivid description is the definition in the Bible Dictionary of 'grace'. It says, "The main idea of the word is divine means of help or strength, given through the bounteous mercy and love of Jesus Christ." I see in these Sisters the purity and strength that comes through the grace of our Lord, Jesus Christ. They are full of his truth - the restored gospel - and through the Savior's grace they will help many come to know the restored truth. You can see it in their eyes and in their pure countenances. Just scroll down and watch! The pictures were taken at the training meeting when they were introduced to their new companions/trainers.  Watch the joy. (I always name them left to right)
