A NEW YEAR, A NEW FOCUS



A NEW YEAR, NEW FOCUS AND NEW THEME!


It is a new year and a new mission phase.  The first transfers of 2019 have been unusual because we have had six different arrival times for new missionaries!  We are so excited for these enthusiastic new missionaries.  They will be a great addition to the mission and will accomplish much.

 Hermanas Iongi, Brown, Galli, Howard, Hopkins, Larsen, Blakely, Pres. Galli






We are no longer El Faro Nuevo.  We are again El Faro, stronger than ever and still growing! We honor those who went before and we stand on their shoulders.











Our new mission theme for 2019 is ¨Converted to the Lord¨".  Conversion of our own selves first, and then, conversion of our friends and deeper conversion of recent and returning missionaries.

Elder Condori










Conversion is a battle for the soul.
Prayer is key for conversion.

Hermana Mangum, friend, Hermana Galli






Faith is essential to conversion.
Personal conversion precedes conversion of others.  Conversion is not just a onetime event.
The more converted we are, the more we want to share our joy with others.

¨Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble.¨ Mosiah 28:3

The aim of all gospel learning and teaching is to deepen our conversion and help us become more like Jesus Christ.   For this reason, when we study the gospel, we want to become a ¨new creature¨. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
