Many farewells and new beginnings


These are days never to be forgotten. Over the past month, many of our beloved Australia Perth missionaries have flown to their homelands and families, as a result of the worldwide impact of the Covid-19 virus. How grateful we are for these missionaries and we look forward to our eternal bonds of friendship with them. Although they are far away in distance they are ever close to our hearts. 

We have 33 wonderful younger missionaries and 6 amazing senior couples currently here in the Great Australia Perth Mission. They are teaching the restored gospel of Jesus Christ via technology. They have hearts of faith and courage, and are valiantly sharing the truths and doctrines of the Saviors church.  We have just participated in viewing General Conference last weekend and have been uplifted and strengthened from the words of living prophets and apostles. 

Tomorrow, Good Friday, as a mission we will all be acting upon the invitation from President Nelson to fast and pray that "the Covid-19 Pandemic may be controlled, caregivers protected, economy strengthened and life normalized." We testify that Jesus Christ lives. He is the Saviour and Redeemer of this world. And as Elder Gerrit W. Gong declared, "He lives-not only then, but now; not just for some, but for all."
