Safe in Williston.

I'll make this a short post. I will be in Williston for at least 6 more weeks and I love it! I'd like to explain some mission organization. We have the mission, which is about 200 or so missionaries in an area. That is led by a Mission President who is usually old enough to have grown children. Then, we have about 5-10 zones in each mission. Two Elders (young male missionaries) lead each zone. Within each zone, divided by area, are 3-5 districts, each led by one Elder. Then, within each district, each pair (companionship) of missionaries covers a specific area. This picture is of the missionaries in the Williston district.



I love the mission organization. It allows information to be passed down effectively, and it provides a great support system. This is how Christ commanded His servants to work. 

Luke 10:1-3:

 1 After these things the Lord appointed other seventy also, and sent them two and two before his face into every city and place, whither he himself would come.

 2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

 3 Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.
