“Many hands make light work,” said Provo MTC President Stephen W. Owen. “And boy, there are a lot of hands.”
Mormons across the nation held their missionary-minded breath when Mitt Romney became the Republican presidential nominee, unsure about whether all the accompanying media attention would be good or bad for their proselytizing church.
