Assistant to the President

 Dear  Elder Ricks,



Sister Murphy and I congratulate you on your recent call to serve as an Assistant to the President. We are grateful for all you have done to prepare yourself for this important assignment. We love you and have great confidence in you.



As an Assistant to the President your responsibilities are to : 1) set an example of faith and obedience, 2) proselyte effectively and baptize consistently in your own area,  3) go on 24-hour exchanges in order to train the zone leaders during each transfer cycle,  4) conduct the monthly mission leadership council and participate in training the zone leaders and sister training leaders,  5) receive weekly reports for key indicators from zone leaders,  6) coordinate missionary travel with zone leaders, as needed, for meetings and transfers,  7) train, as directed, in other meetings, and  8) give assistance, as needed, to Sister Murphy and me. You have been called to this position because of your preparation and great desire to be a missionary and represent Jesus Christ.



We are thankful for your wonderful example as a servant of the Lord and I want you to know that Heavenly Father cares about you deeply. Thank you for helping the missionaries in our mission feel the love that God has for them and see how they can be more effective in their areas. May you seek and receive inspiration from the Holy Ghost to guide you in this important calling. Please set an example of dedication, obedience and love for God by helping all the missionaries in our mission learn to develop a similar desire to align their will with that of Heavenly Father. You will feel great joy as you continue to love God and serve others.



Love,



Sean B. Murphy, President
