California Fresno Mission FAREWELL – Feb. 10, 2015 – FULL EVENT

Another great farewell to the Missionaries who have been serving the Mission of Jesus Christ for the past few years of their lives. They walked with Him, and brought many back unto the Father through Him. Now they are home, making family lives of their own… in His glory. I love the Father, I love the Son, I love the Holy Ghost… and I love the Missionaries!

December 25, 2014 – Missionary Christmas!!

Each year we get the pleasure of having the Missionary’s of our area over for Christmas day! This day was most wonderful as we played games, had a fantastic meal, and even watched the Disney film Frozen! From the standpoint of a Father, I will tell the parents of these fine young Missionaries that they are truly amazing! In the below photos and the 25 minute video, you will hear 14 of the 22 Missionaries we saw that day tell their amazing Christmas Testimonies, and see the fun they had this great day… celebrating the anniversary of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ!

November 24, 2014 Missionary Prep Day

Every so often we have the great pleasure of hosting the Zone Missionaries for their Prep Day in the California Fresno Mission! This is such a day between their getting their needs fulfilled (Laundry and Groceries), and getting back to the Mission later that evening. This day we were allowed to show them the LDS film Ephraim’s Rescue of which they thoroughly enjoyed while sharing several pizza’s we provided for their time with us. We do this often to give them a taste of home…as these young adults have come out to work the Mission of Jesus Christ for a few years, leaving all their comforts at home, wherever that may be in the world. There are several countries and continents represented by these amazing Missionaries participating this day. We are blessed to have them with us!

A Wonderful Conversion Story in the Brazil, Salvador Mission

This story was shared through the Mission Presidency of the Salvador, Brazil Mission…. President and Sister Lisonbee of one of their Missionaries, Elder Hollingsworth. We thank you for the wonderful account.

….

I wanted to tell you about an experience that I had last week that was such a testimony builder that this is the Lords work and that I’m on his errand, and also that angels prepare people to hear the gospel ( Alma 13:24).

About a year ago I was starting my first transfer in Simoes Filho. I was with a great Elder and it was a pleasure to work with him. We were invited into an English school to help them out a little bit. So, we went and we gave a quick class and met a lot of great people and afterwards invited everyone to go to church...

Surprise Missionary Visit!!

Coincidence is an illusion. Heavenly Father works in amazing ways, always and complete… and sometimes with surprise. Melanie and I came home yesterday evening to meet with Sister’s Ard and Reese, only to be met by two handsome young men whom were obviously Missionaries of Jesus Christ. The Sisters had not yet arrived. These young Missionaries approached us asking if we were the Kuhn Family…. which of course we are. One looked very familiar to me, and after welcoming them in, and placing what I had in my hands down, I noticed the familiar Missionary holding his Spanish Book of Mormon over his name tag. It occurred to me at that moment who he was…. Elder Cook and younger brother to the Elder Jacob Cook who helped bring my mother and I back to Christ...

Missionary Works Through Activity!! Sister Taylor Hosts a Fashion Show Luncheon

Monday, July 21, 2014 was another extraordinary day of Missionary Works in Motion! Sisters from both the Alluvial and Woodward Park Wards gathered at Sister Taylor’s home for a luncheon and a fashion show! With a few invited guests attending, the Sisters of the Wards modeled some new fashionable clothing, just as if it were a professional runway show! Prizes were given and all reported loving the event! The great effect is that some of the invited guests are now going to attend the Church this coming Sunday! Missionary works at it’s best through our members efforts to bring everyone to Christ. Bonnie Taylor did a fantastic job putting it together, as did the participants for the event!

October 10, 2012 General Session

From the moment we were Baptized, we have immersed ourselves in the Mission of Jesus Christ. This includes the world televised General Conference that is shown regularly that the Leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ may speak to all the members of the Church. This often gives great inspiration and guidance that help everyone live in a world that has great challenges, making it clear that we are  here to help our Brothers and Sisters in the world. Through Christ they are redeemed, and may come closer to our Heavenly Father in the personal relationship he wants us all to have with him. The Missionaries attending this day we got to know very well over the two years they were on their Mission’s. What  great blessing to know these great young Men and Women!
