"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!" - Isa. 52:7

Welcome to Our Missionaries!
When the Savior commanded his Apostles to go and preach the Gospel to all the world it was an act of love. Just as those early missionaries carried the resplendent message of salvation to the people then, modern missionaries humbly carry that same message of love today!
In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, young men and women are given the sacred responsibility and opportunity to act as the Lord's emissaries. There are thousands of them throughout the world working to share the joyous message of the Gospel. Young men normally serve their missions when they are 19, and are called to serve for 24 months. Young women who decide to go on missions normally go when they are 21, and are called to serve for 18 months. Deciding to serve a mission is not taken lightly, and the missionary makes great sacrifices to serve. They do not get paid while away. We've often joked that the pay stinks, but the rewards are out of this world!
Our family has a proud heritage of missionary service, and we are excited to use this website to highlight our four children who have or soon will be serving missions. It is our hope that as we share parts of their experiences here that it will inform, educate, uplift, and inspire others.
