Missionaries in the Utah Ogden Mission are joining stake and ward leaders in an effort to help bring back less-active members to Church activity.

"Missionaries go into the homes of less-active members, touching hearts and teaching fellowshipping lessons to help them feel the Spirit," said mission Pres. E. Widtsoe Shumway.Full-time missionaries accompany stake missionaries and home teachers in the visits. Besides teaching, the full-time missionaries also help resolve any concerns the less-active members may have, said Pres. Shumway.

A number of less-active members have resumed attending Church meetings after visits from missionaries.
