18th

18th) I am thankful today for missionaries. Somewhere, for almost all of us, there was a missionary who introduced the Gospel to our family. For some, that happened a hundred years or more ago. For some of ,a bit more recently.

This weekend three just returned missioanries will be speaking in their sacrament meetings in our stake. I'll get to hear two of them. I am excited to see how they have matured and how they have internalized the Gospel and what expereiences they will share. This morning I wrote to one from our stake that just left. I know the newbie a little better than the two retruning I get to hear, but the expereiences will be life altering, regardless.

Thanks to all your have served, who are serving, and those prepring to serve someday. What a remarkable difference the Gospel makes in my life. Thank you.
