AT THE same time, about a dozen young men are working in Davis County taking the Gospel message primarily to the 30 percent of the population who are not members of the LDS Church. According to Dr. L. Clifford Goff, a counselor in the Utah Salt Lake City Mission and practicing South Ogden dentist, the mission ranks among the top five or six missions worldwide in baptisms and, except for the past two months, is tops for all English-speakinmissions. g HE SERVES voluntarily, with nominal compensation for gas Mission as a counselor to Pres. Eldon W. Cooley, and along with counselor Art Brown of Salt Lake City. The mission president is called to serve a three-yea- r mission along with his wife and will be released in July. Pres. Cooley is from Mesa, Ariz., where he served two terms as mayor and was an LDS stake president. The mission had its roots in Davis County and was headquartered in Bountiful lor one and a half vears at the home of John Eberhard at 270 East 500 South. At that time, July of 1976, John and his wife had been called on a mission and their home was utilized as the Utah headquarters by his cousin, Ernest Eberhard, called as the first mission president and serving as a Davis County Commissioner since January. WE HAD some doubts a mission would go in Utah, Commissioner Eberhard said, but it shot right up to the top in baptisms. We had 3,200 bap- about whether tisms the first year and the members and leaders pitched right in. It was a fine experience." He served from July of 1975 to July, 1976 when he was released. Prior to that, however, he presided over the Oregon Portland Mission lrom 1972 to 1974 and then organized the Idaho Pocatello Mission, which included Davis County, was released lrom that assignment and brought in to do the same thing in Utah. THE HEADQUARTERS are now located at 47 West South lemple m Salt Lake City, but Davis County continues to shine as a bright spot in mission activity and success. The Slake Clearfield (recently divided) reported the second highest number of baptisms in 1978, behind Rock Springs, Wvo The mission rovers all but the extreme southeastern portion ot Utah, a small part of Southeastei n Idaho, western Wyoming and a small section of Nevada County, missionaries are stationed near Hill AFB, Clinton, Bountiful, Layton and Clearfield. While the county and state is predominantly Mormon, Pres. Goff says there are a number of reasons prompting a mission Of here. the population increase into Utah, most of those werent LDS and we felt the best way to locate them and tell them about the church was through fulltime missionaries. We also felt the potential for con- verts wasnt being realized through the Seventies alone. d non-pai- d men to such a position.

Goff TWELVE missionary also serve as couples guides at temple visitors centers in Ogden, St. George and Manti. They are usually retired married couples and serve for 18 months. Lady missionaries serve a similar length of time while male Elders serve for two years, all at their own, or their family's expense. Pres.
