My Little Missionary

I'm so proud of Mallory and what she is accomplishing as she is serving her Father In Heaven in
Tennessee.

This is a letter she received from her Mission President:

"Dear Sister Gertson,

thank you for accepting the new assignment to serve as a sister training leader in the Franklin zone.  You have received this assignment because you have distinguished yourself as a leader in the Tennessee Nashville Mission.  You have earned the trust of Heavenly Father through your striving to be obedient, your work ethic, your Christlike attributes and your skills in teaching repentance and baptizing converts.

Being a successful sister training leader is far more about what you do than about what you say.  Please lead by example.  Find constantly, teach repentance from the Book of Mormon, and baptize converts.  If you do that, and if you teach others how to do that, then you will be an exemplary sister training leader.  Remember that you are a keeper of the TNM Christ-centered culture of high expectations and charity.  Please help the missionaries in your zone to get swept up in our mission culture.

You will train the sister missionaries I your zone.  You do this primarily through exchanges and at zone conferences.  Remember to find opportunities to lift, build and inspire the best efforts of the sisters.  Missionary work can be challenge.  Always seek to encourage the sister missionaries in their faith and joy.

Cultivate the qualities of persuasion, long=suffering, gentleness, meekness, love unfeigned and kindness.  it is also very important that you continue to strive to obey and repent with consecration, and to work and practice all day in the Preach My Gospel way.  Place Preach My Gospel and the Missionary Handbook at the very center of your missionary work each day.

Love,

Jared W. Stone
President, Tennessee Nashville Mission"
