February 21, 2014 Sister Training Leader Letter

21 February 2014

Dear Sister Kaitlin Elizabeth Baker,

Congratulations on your new calling as a Sister Trainer Leader in the Oregon Salem Mission!  This honor and responsibility comes to very few sisters in the entire mission.

No other calling, other than training a new missionary, will have more importance while serving the Lord.  As a Sister Trainer Leader you will be responsible for the training and welfare of female missionaries assigned to you. You will be a member of and participate in, the new Mission Leadership Council (MLC).  Sister Training Leaders will continue to proselyte and will also spend time each week training and evaluating the needs of female missionaries. You will report directly to the Mission President on the needs of sister missionaries. You will also work closely with Sister Samuelian as part of your new duties.

Your parents and priesthood leaders will also receive a copy of this message. To them we say how thankful we are for sending this great sister to us, and know that your hopes and dreams will in great measure be fulfilled in their service.

The call to leadership is best done by example. Those you serve will watch you and will desire to become like you. This will require you to be faithful, diligent and most importantly, loving in all you do.

Your calling comes through inspiration and qualification from your Father in Heaven. It is a sacred trust given to you, from Him.  Know also of my trust and gratitude for your willingness to accept and fulfill this calling.

With Love,



President Samuelian
