Our Mission

Dear Children and Grandchildren,

We are having a great time at the Mission Training Center!  There are many beautiful paintings of the Savior and gospel scenes on the walls.  And there are pictures of missionaries serving in different places all over the world. One is of two people in a baptismal font chipped out of about 18 inches of ice.

We are having wonderful classes taught by inspired returned missionaries.  They are all so young, but so smart and so very good at teaching the gospel. 

There didn’t seem to be a time before we left you for us to share our testimonies.  We both know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is true. That is why we are here.  That is why we are going on this mission.  We know that Jesus Christ lives and loves each of you.  He knows your name and what you think about.  He knows what is in your heart.

We are so happy and grateful that our children are each so good and try so hard to live the gospel.  We know you each are facing many challenges, but we know the Lord will help you as long as you stay faithful.  We appreciate our great sons and daughters in law and appreciate the tremendous support they are to our whole family.

There is nothing we want more than for our grandchildren to develop their own testimonies of the Savior and His gospel.  You can only do that by reading the scriptures regularly, praying, and living the principles you learn about as you read.  Living the gospel is the most important thing you can do in this world if you want to be happy.  We love you all! We know the Lord will take care of you and He will take care of us.  We pray for that every day.

Love,

Grandpa and Grandma Owens
