The Wentworth Letter

We studied The Wentworth Letter in Relief Society last Sunday. I knew that The Standard of Truth was a part of the letter, but had forgotten. The Standard of Truth was something I said every day as a missionary. Each morning as part of companionship study and at every meeting we would recite it and D&C Section 4. My husband's mission also recited something called My Missionary Commission.

We encourage you to find out how your missionary feels about these, or how you felt about them as a missionary and journal or scrapbook those feelings. Is the field white already to harvest or still a little green? Have they personally felt the persecutions that rage? They are such great principles to ponder and to share.

While you are at it you may want to find out your missionaries daily schedule. There are many routines to a missionaries life. Weekly letters, daily studies, and monthly meetings and transfers.

The Standard of Truth

"....the Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done."
