The greatest thing about a mission is the people you get to know and love, and then seeing the hand of the Lord in your life and theirs. We have great relationships with so many members and friends in all five of our countries. It’s not easy being a member of the church here — our valiant members have often sacrificed a lot as they have entered and walked on the covenant path.
