Dear Parents,
We said goodbye last week to Sister Denieka Bowden, Sister Anna Petersen, and Sister Taylor Strock. We are grateful for their service these last 18 months.
We welcomed Sister Rebecca Anderson, Elder Benjamin Barnes, Sister Laney Barton, Sister Hope Bates, Elder Connor Belnap, Elder Baden Buchholzer, Elder Caszen Frandsen, Elder Carter Hunsaker, Elder Andrew Hyde, Elder Gustavo Obregon, Sister Isabelle Parr, Elder Matthew Withers, and Elder Joshua Wolff.
We have a Temple trip scheduled this week on the 9th. We look forward to meeting several of you and sharing the day together.
We begin Zone Conferences with the Wichita and Derby Zones this week. Watch the Kansas Wichita Missionary Family and Friends Facebook page for photos.
The work is moving forward. President Ernst posted this yesterday on his Facebook profile.
“Miracles are real. I read hundreds of emails from our missionaries each week. Invariably they write of the miracles where they have seen the Lord guiding their work, opening doors, answering prayers, giving comfort, changing lives, and so much more. They see them in part because they are looking for His blessings in their life and they have gratitude when they see them. Missionaries themselves are a miracle to us. Have miracles ceased? Absolutely not.”
One of the miracles we are experiencing this month is the number of people preparing for baptism. Please remember these people in your prayers. We want them to make their first covenant with God and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
As part of their preparation for General Conference, we’ve invited our missionaries to memorize the Restoration Proclamation. It will unite and bless us as we let inspired words of the First Presidency and the Twelve Apostles sink deep into our hearts and minds.
Our Facebook work continues to grow. As you visit our pages and see the videos and posts that your missionary is creating, we invite you to comment in a missionary manner. We hope that your words will be seen and felt by someone looking for truth.
Thank you for your support and love.
Sister Ernst
