Please be assured of our sincere love and appreciation for your devotion and faith.

Sincerely,

The First Presidency

Our Mission

Our mission is to directly or indirectly touch countless hearts to help prepare them to receive the fullness of the Gospel and/or live by its principles — to help others become prepared to meet the Savior at His second coming.

"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will, and bring to pass much righteousness; For the power is in them, wherein they are agents unto themselves. And inasmuch as men do good they shall in nowise lose their reward."

- Doctrine and Covenants 58:26-28
