Dear Payson 10th Ward Missionaries, and other ward leaders. I have no need to preach to you about your callings. I would encourage and invite each of you to develop that close relationship with the Holy Ghost and the Savior Jesus Christ. They will instruct you the best how to fulfill your callings. I would encourage each of you to find ways to reach out to your neighbors and assigned families. I hope you enjoy this little poem below. I apologize if it doesn't show up correctly with the pictures on your phone. I'm still trying to learn this program.

Let us be Honest With Ourselves
Let us be Unselfish and Loyal
Let us be True to our Obligations
Let us have Fun and Enjoyment
Let us Obey the Rules and Regulations
Let us Love and Help One Another
AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, LET’S ASK
FOR GOD’S HELP! *****
It is my prayer that I (we) as we become converted to Jesus Christ, will follow the encouragement of our Prophet to help bring home our brothers and sisters on both sides of the veil.
Our efforts to develop friendships with less active, non-member, and active members can help guide them back to our Savior, Jesus Christ, and to our Heavenly Father. Let's do what we can to help bring them home, whether now partaking of the blessings of the Lord's Church or through selfless service in the House of the Lord. We all have the tremendous opportunity to serve the Lord and our fellow brothers and sisters!
I witness to each of you Jesus is the Christ, Russel M. Nelson is a prophet of God. Jesus does live. Indeed HE LIVES. Our Savior and Redeemer love each of you, as do I.
In the name of Jesus Christ
Amen.
