Letter from President Foote

This morning I received an email from President Foote that he sent to Karter today. I know Karter is aware of the significance of a prayerful, humble, trainer and I feel he is up for the calling.  Prayers for Elder Northrup and Elder Braun.  Love, MOM

Dear Elder Northrup,

It is a pleasure for me to extend an assignment to you as a Missionary Trainer in the Georgia Atlanta Mission. You will commence your role as a Trainer on December 6, 2017. Your companion will be Elder Michael Adam Trost Braun and your proselyting area will be Centerville 1 in the Conyers North Zone.     

The responsibility to train a new missionary is a sacred trust from me and from the Lord. A missionary’s first companions have a profound, lasting influence on the development of attitudes, habits and ability to fulfill our purpose. Your goal is to help your companion be the kind of missionary who, if called upon, could train a new missionary by the end of the 12-week training period.

I invite you to study and pray about the section in the Mission Handbook titled “Missionary Leadership” and to become very familiar with the inspired direction on how you can be a servant leader in your zone in a way that will bring all closer to Christ. Please make all that you do in this assignment a matter of prayer and strive to recognize and follow the spirit in love and compassion.

Your love for the Lord, your dedicated service, and your capabilities as a leader, have led to this important role. I have full confidence in you and am honored to serve by your side. Thank you for your continued service and love for your Father in Heaven.

With much admiration,

                       

President David A. Foote

Georgia Atlanta Mission
