In 1898, Inez Knight and Jennie Brimhall went to England and became the first full-time single sister missionaries for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in this dispensation.
Now a new mural depicting their service covers a wall at the Provo Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, where sister missionaries who are making history today walk by and receive inspiration from Knight’s and Brimhall’s examples.
Printed on the wall across from the mural are the words, “Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work” (Doctrine and Covenants 4:3) and the question, “How am I showing my desire to serve God today?”
The mural was installed June 2 and was designed and created by the Church using models and photography of buildings, boats, streets and water in Liverpool, England, to create a scene of the two missionaries when they first arrived.
