Mission presidents’ influence on this generation of missionaries will prepare them to be

powerful gospel teachers, Elder M. Russell Ballard of the Quorum of the Twelve told departing

mission presidents and their wives on June 26, the final day of the 2013 seminar for new

mission presidents at the Provo Missionary Training Center.

He told the presidents and wives that the Lord would place under their stewardship and care

“some of the ablest spirits that will ever grace this world.”

“It will be your responsibility to teach them and to help them discover who they really are,” he

said. “Once they discover their divine origins and their great destiny and potential, they will be

filled with Christlike love and the desire to serve Him throughout their lives.”

Mission presidents cannot change their missionaries, Elder Ballard said. Rather, the presidents

must be agents of change, helping their missionaries learn how to become changed by the

Spirit.

He likened the presidents to master sculptors and the missionaries to beautiful pieces of

marble. He said the sculptor Michelangelo imagined in exquisite detail the figure he

wanted to create as being entombed within the marble, and his role was to release the

ideal form by removing the excess stone.
