Dear Elder Jacob Ryan Cluff,
Thank you for accepting the call to serve as a Zone Leader in the CHERRY HILL (CH). This is a position of great responsibility and trust. Your example of love, humility, and service will be the hallmark of your leadership. Love requires courage and integrity, with decisions based on correct principles.
Your main duty is to help missionaries understand and live by the guidelines and standards in Preach My Gospel.
The most important assignment a missionary can receive is to preach the gospel. Leadership assignments are important and necessary; however, in the Utah Orem Mission they are generally temporary. Missionaries may serve in leadership positions for a time and then serve later in full proselyting positions. How one serves is more important than the position he is in.
As you show forth a good example, the missionaries you lead will want to follow. I have full confidence in your ability to do an outstanding job in this assignment. Thank you for approaching this responsibility prayerfully.
With Love in the Gospel,
James E. Evanson
Mission President
