Elder Jeffrey M. Vernes: Excerpt from Weekly Letter

I love being a missionary. It is hard work, but it pays off, when you give service to others. I love the gospel and I have seen how it can change lives. I love you all! And I enjoy hearing from you! Take care!

Love, Jeff

Pray for the missionaries

"Brothers and sisters, the missionaries need our faith and prayers. Pray fervently every day for their safety and protection, for this is one very important way we all can support them in accomplishing their essential assignment of proclaiming the gospel to all the world.

I bear testimony that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. We are engaged in his work. I testify that through the faith and prayers of all members of the Church, we will continue moving this great work forward to the final victory. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
