(50 sister missionaries were in the Illinois Chicago Mission
in 1984-1986 -can you find me?)
"Many young women are serving missions. Many are preparing to serve. Not because they aren't married or have nothing better to do, but because they have a desire to serve and are therefore being called to the work. The reason so many are going is because in the next generation, Heavenly Father will be sending His Priesthood army to the earth and wants to send them to mothers who are properly trained and taught. And what better training can a young woman have than that of serving a mission"
-President Gordon B. Hinckley

So many of my young sister friends are going on missions these days. I am thrilled about it! There are so many awesome young women in the church today and the Lord is preparing each one for something very special and important...to raise the next generation!
Onward Sister Soldiers!
