Set Apart As a Missionary For The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

 Sister Merritt has been set apart as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She will start home MTC tomorrow. I’m excited for her and this new adventure she gets to embark on.

While President Pehrson was setting her apart, he gave her a blessing with some beautiful gifts and promises.
He let her know that she was prepared before she came to share the Gospel and to help others come to know and love Jesus Christ. He counseled her to use her gifts of faith, humility, and the gift of tongues while she meets others from all over the world who would have different languages and perspectives.
He promised her wisdom, physical health, her abilities would be magnified, that angels would bear her up, and protection from those who would mean to harm.
We are grateful for her choice to serve for 18 months sharing her love for Jesus Christ with others. We wish her growth, learning experiences, and success. We love you Becca!!
