Merry Christmas from Pennsylvania



For our Christmas Zone Conference, we had each district recite a portion of The Living Christ document in a video that we showed.  I was able to get a picture of each district. What an amazing group of missionaries who love the Lord!





























 We received eight new missionaries from the MTC! 
We are so excited to have them here!



New Missionaries and their trainers









Transfer Day!




Nine missionaries conclude their missions.  We love and adore them and we are grateful for their service!







Sending our Visa Waiter Elder Rippy off to Portugal!





Sending home one of our assistants Elder Hale




The Christmas Season is upon us. 
 Our wonderful office missionaries made ornaments of each missionary.  They decorate our lives!
Our missionaries love Christmas time! 
They are out Lighting The World!






 Each year our missionaries join with the firefighters in serving Thanksgiving dinner in the Harrisburg area!




Our wonderful Mission Leadership Council
