New Assignment

Dear Parents of a Great Missionary,

I am emailing you a copy of the letter I sent to your son as he accepted the assignment to serve as a District Leader.

I’m sure you are thrilled with the work that your son is doing here in the Georgia Atlanta Mission and the great man he is becoming.  His dedicated service and leadership have been an example to all of us. 

Thank you so much for your support.

Warmest Wishes,

David A. Foote

Mission President

Dear Elder Northrup,

It is a pleasure for me to extend an assignment to you as a District Leader in the Fayetteville District of the Fayetteville South Zone. You will commence your role as District Leader on May 23, 2018. Your companion will be Elder Chizedek Larry Guy Rankin and your proselyting area will be Fayetteville 3.

   

You will have the responsibility to teach and train those in your district each week as you lead the District Meeting in such a way that will move the entire mission forward.  This is the place that the greatest teaching and changes take place in the lives of missionaries.

This assignment will be a great blessing in your life as you take the opportunity to love, lift and encourage all of the missionaries, members and investigators that you will be working with.

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 district 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.

You will be expected to work diligently in your own proselyting area in addition to your duties as a district leader.  You will go on exchanges, at least every transfer, with all of the male companionships in your district.

It is a pleasure for me to be serving alongside you in this great work of Salvation. May God bless you in your service with peace and happiness in serving Him, as you are serving your fellow disciples.  

With love,

President Foote
