The work continues here in the Michigan Lansing Mission--and we are sure all around the world--to find and invite God's children to "come and see" (John 1:45-46). The 166 missionaries in our mission are working so hard and they are doing amidst sub-freezing temperatures and plenty of snow. One area 45 minutes south of us, Gaylord, Michigan, got a record 24 inches of snow in 24 hours the day after Thanksgiving and yet our missionaries continue to seek for the one. Why are they so dedicated? Because they love the Lord, they love the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and they want to share the blessings they have enjoyed with anyone. They have been promised miracles and every day it happens. The miracles they experience are often posted in Messenger Chat groups we have amongst our Zones and it warms all of our hearts to know how God is in the details and leads His missionaries to those He has prepared.
Last night at 9 PM all the young missionaries were instructed to join a Zoom Meeting with the Mission Presidency. The mission office had reached out to their parents, family members, Bishops and Stake Presidents back home inviting them to join the Zoom meeting. They were all a bit nervous, wondering what it was all about. To summarize, an invitation was extended for those back home to join in the work and support their missionary's efforts here in a variety of ways, including being invited to join a missionary lesson using technology if the missionary felt it would bless the life of any friend they were teaching. There have been some very specific promises made to these missionaries and you can feel the area is about to explode. We didn't need to be in attendance, but Sister Thompson and Newman invited us to their apartment to listen in.
