LDS Church News – Pres. Uchtdorf to new mission presidents: 'You will succeed'
PROVO — In his June 26 remarks during the 2009 New Mission Presidents Seminar, President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency, spoke of the blessed opportunities awaiting those recently called to lead the missions.
"Presidents and sisters, isn't it great to be part of this divine and sacred work?" he asked. "You will be wonderful. You are not called to fail; you will succeed because God is with you. You will have great and wonderful experiences as leaders in the church, as missionaries, and especially — the two of you — as a very unique companionship."
