To the Missionaries of the Great Texas Houston Mission,
We loved seeing you all last week and spending such inspiring days together. We hope you will each commit to elevating your language so it reflects the dignity of your call and testify with boldness concerning the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon as well as promise blessings to those who read it.
We are excited for this Friday night and those recent converts who will be bringing their own names to the temple. Please try to have members come with them. You are also welcome to accompany your converts. We are hoping for a great day.
We will be distributing the schedule for those of you to attend the temple in March so that you can take your own names to the temple. Remember both you and your companion need to have found your own names and printed them to take to the temple in order to attend. This will become extremely valuable to you as you prepare to teach others to do the same.
Please make sure you all have the lists of unbaptized children of record and the part member families in the wards. We are confident that as we continue our finding efforts, challenge the members to do the same and review the names on these list, we can get to a place where every companionship can baptize every month and in so doing have even greater success in strengthening and establishing the Church (PMG ch 13)!
Love,
President and Sister Mortensen
