Líder De Distrito

Dear Mason Grant,

 
Congratulations on your assignment to serve as a district leader in the Jardines District of the San Pedro Sula Zone. 


As a district leader, you are expected to set an example for the missionaries in your district through your study of the scriptures and the gospel, exact obedience, hard work, proselyting skills and other aspects of missionary work.  Your role will be to supervise, teach, and inspire the missionaries in your district.  You will be responsible to plan and conduct weekly district meetings and supervise companion exchanges with the missionaries in your district.


You will interview baptismal candidates within your district, including candidates who have been taught by zone leaders in your district.  It will be your duty to look after the well-being of the missionaries in your district and to carry a full proselyting load in your assigned area, working with faith and diligence to accomplish your missionary purpose.


It is important to lead with love, kindness, and understanding. I invite you to study and apply the principles in Doctrine & Covenants 121:39-44.[1]  I also suggest you remember the Lord’s admonition, “whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister. And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant.”[2]


You have Sister McClellan’s and my love and confidence.  We trust you will serve with a willing and humble heart and mind.  I pray that our Heavenly Father will bless you and sustain you as you carry out these important responsibilities.
 

Sincerely,
Mitchelle C. McClellan

Your Holiday, Not Our Holiday!

Hi friends! This is my first mission email, and wow. I'm here! I've spent 18 years wondering if I would go on a mission, and now I am on my first week! This week I was at home doing online MTC, and I will be in the Mexico MTC (the CCM) by the end of next week. That might also mean that my P-day will be on a different day next week. Anyways, I will try to keep you all updated as often as I can. Sunday I was set apart as a missionary today. I was able to have my immediate family members as well as some grandparents be with me as I became an official missionary. Monday First day of my mission! For some reason this day took two weeks to complete, and it was TERRIFYING. It is a big jump going from few responsibilities to many responsibilities, and I have no idea what's going on.  I was able to meet my first companion - Elder Cushing - today. He is from Murray, Utah and will be going to El Salvador for his mission. I am very excited to get to know him and spend time with him for ...

When Grandparent's Day And Children's Day Collide...

Hi friends!!! Welp, I've now downloaded more general conference talks than I know what to do with. Do you guys think I'll be able to read every talk from 1995 to now during my mission?  I'm currently working my way backwards, starting from this last general conference and going back in time. At the time of writing this email I am ~40% of the way through the October 2022 general conference. At this time I'm not putting much focus into the general conference talks, instead focusing more on learning and memorizing Book of Mormon scriptures because that is the resource I will use most for teaching. During personal study I focus on the lessons and the doctrine (Preach my Gospel and the Scriptures), and outside of personal study I check out new resources and delve into topics I'm interested in. I've been listening to some BYU speeches that my companion gave me, and some of them are really wonderful to listen to. Some talks I've already listened to multiple times e...

Goodbye Forest

Hi friends! I don't have much time to talk because I'm busy packing up my stuff!  That's right friends! I'm outta here! This forest is terrible and I don't like it, so I'm skedadling to another part of Honduras (hopefully a part with less trees) All jokes though (well, besides leaving the area)! I've loved my time in El Bosque and it's been a crazy 4 weeks climbing one mountain to the next dodging mosquitos and mototaxis and baptizing like crazy with Elder Sopon! They've been chaotic, stressful, and fun, but duty is calling me to new places! Now some of you may be saying ... wait a minute! a transfer is 6 weeks, but you've only been here for 4! You are correct, but I've been given a special assignment from the president, and have to leave now. So while it's bittersweet to leave an area so soon after getting there, it is what it is.  After being in two areas for 6 months each, it's a big contrast to only be in an area for 4 weeks. Now ...
