Dear Elders and Sisters,
We write this last general email to the greatest missionaries in the
world, the missionaries of the TMM! Time is quickly approaching for the
arrival of the Maluendas. They have been called of God to lead you and
this mission forward in one of the greatest days to be a missionary.
These are exciting times. We know that you will love and sustain the
Maluendas. We know the Lord will sustain you and them as you move
forward.
In our recent conferences there were some tears shared. You now
understand even better why the reuniting of Alma and the sons of Mosiah
provoked such emotion in those missionaries. Our bonds and ties have
been welded strong as we have worked and grown together in this work.
We were glad that there were many smiles and laughs at the conferences
as well.
Let us move forward. Let us build on the past. Let us truly take the
restored gospel to the people of South Texas (and don’t forget to
involve those members!). The Lord reminds us to thrust in our sickle
with all our might. The field is white, ready for the harvest.
Remember that every day is “game day” in the eyes of the Lord as He
works with us in His vineyard. Let us lift our vision of what can
surely be as we give Him our whole hearts, minds, might, and strength.
Have faith in the God of miracles!
We pray that you will cherish you memories of the past while working to
create even more powerful and miraculous memories in the future. Have
that perfect brightness of hope of which Nephi spoke. Let your hearts
be filled with charity.
We leave this mission feeling like some great good has been
accomplished. We leave this mission knowing that on the foundation that
has been laid, even greater things may be accomplished. We look for
that day when every young man and young woman grows up with the desire
to be a TEXAS McALLEN MISSIONARY!
Our message is true. Build your lives upon Christ. Now you be true and
strong in your defense of truth and light. Let your light shine. Stay
true. We know the words of the Prophet Joseph will be fulfilled:
"The Standard of Truth has been erected. No unhallowed hand can stop the
work from progressing. Persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies
may assemble, calumny may defame. But the truth of God will go forth
boldly, nobly, and dependent till it has penetrated every continent,
visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear,
until the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the Great Jehovah
will say, ‘The work is done.'"
God be with you until we meet again our dear brothers and sisters. We will never, never forget you.
We express our appreciation to your great parents as well for sharing you with us and the great people of South Texas.
Con mucho amor y éxito,
Presidente y Hermana Trayner
