JUNE - 2016

Missionaries serving near the area of Werner Field had the opportunity to sing the national anthem at Mormon Night at the Storm Chasers game. They represented NOM and the church so well! One of the ushers asked me where on earth we found such a clean, wholesome looking group of college students! He was even more impressed when he found what they were truly doing in Nebraska!  -- Sis.

"A MIGHTY CHANGE OF HEART"

This was a inspired assignment given by President Gardner to the mission leaders first, and then all missionaries at a later date.  A assignment to read, ponder, answer and report -- to help us all have a mighty change of heart.  Everyone is excited about this and knows the importance of it and the help us all to have a change of heart.

The scriptures of focus are:  Mosiah 5:1-2, 7-8; Alma 5:7. 12-14; Helaman 15:6-8

I am so proud of these wonderful missionaries. Book of Mormon the musical was showing this last week in Omaha. We were there to answer questions before and after the shows. We taught the Message of the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ hundreds of times. Our copies of the Book of Mormon contained marked references to answer the Questions of the Soul. We know that there will be connections made with heaven as all those who accepted a copy seek answers from our loving Father in Heaven.     --- President Gardner

Some of our elders and sisters serving in or near downtown Omaha had an amazing experience this week! The Book of Mormon Musical was playing here in Omaha and they were able to stand outside the theater and visit with people as they entered and exited the theater. They told them they were the REAL missionaries and taught the restoration over and over again, answered questions, and shared their testimonies and a Book of Mormon with those who chose to listen. They had a wonderful time! One evening there was a torrential rain and they stood in the rain proclaiming the gospel and having the time of their lives! Helaman 5:12 came to my mind as they stood in the mighty storm committed to talk to all who would listen. In my heart of hearts, I know that these young people have built their foundation on their savior Jesus Christ and though the storms may come, they will have no power over them because of the foundation on which they are built and for which they are proud to stand and represent! Oh how we love them all!                              ----Sis Gardner
