Change of Assignment - Happiest Place on Earth
On March 3, 2010 Kristi was interviewed by Pres. Hale and received a change of assignment which had been discussed with and approved by a member of the Quorum of the Twelve. She has been reassigned to the Florida Orlando Mission to “lead the charge” in organizing an ASL program in three stakes there and eventually to set up some magnet wards as well. This transfer takes place on March 10th. Her new mission president will be Pres. John C. Darrington who ends his mission July 1st. After that, her president will be Pres. Garth Vaughan Hall from Idaho. That will make four mission presidents in ten months (counting the MTC)!
‘Make no small plans: They have no magic to stir man’s souls.’ This is the vision I have for the South. I believe that one day the South will baptize more people into the church than all other English speaking missions in the world together. There are great hosts of marvelous Baptists, and members of the church of Christ, Methodists and Catholics who are honorable people, and have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and love him. As they see their church veering off to the right or to the left of these basic teachings, they will begin to search for the truth. And as pivotal teachers come into the church and have influence, we will see the time when we baptize hundreds and thousands, tens of thousands. In your day you will see a million members of the church in the South. There will be Temples plural in the Southern States. What a great call you have to serve with these marvelous people. ~Spencer W Kimball (1974)
