At the beginning of each District and Zone Meeting, the missionaries stand and recite the following from page one in Preach My Gospel:
"My purpose as a missionary
is to invite others to come unto Christ
by helping them receive the restored gospel
through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement,
repentance,
baptism,
receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost,
and enduring to the end."
(And we add)
"Because we love them!"
We then recite the 4th Section of the Doctrine and Covenants before sitting down.
So, as you can see, baptism is vitally important to the welfare of the individual convert and also to the success and joy of the individual missoianary and the mission as a whole.
Below you will find pictures of some of the recent baptisms in our mission, with the wonderful people who have accepted Jesus Christ and His Gospel in their lives along with the missioanries who have taught them. This is only a fraction of the actual since not everyone sends their photos to the Mission Home for the baptism board despite the requsts of Sister Woodbury. But those we have received are cheered and cherished.
Only the missionaries' names are listed.
