T-Shirt Drawing Competition

This is the drawing, partially inked.
I've made a drawing to submit in the missionary t-shirt contest! The due date is today. The drawing was pretty good in pencil, but I don't have very much experience in inking. I liked it better before I inked it, because it covers some of the details I wanted it to show.

The drawing has reference to John 21:8, part of the fishing trip of the Apostles. As they rowed in to shore, they had so many fish in the net that they couldn't pull them into the boat, but had to drag them behind as they rowed.

The drawing shows two missionaries, who have successfully brought so many souls to believe in Jesus that they have the same problem! It also could be related to retaining recent converts after their baptism, because the net did not break. (John 21:11)

Now, baptism is only a gateway, it is not a finish line. To relate to that, the shore is the start of a pathway that leads to distant mountains. I challenge those who read this to find out what I intended those mountains to represent! Try using the Topical Guide, Mountain. If that's too hard, try searching "mountain" in other places on lds.org, or ask someone for a hint. If you really can't find out, you can cheat by reading this.
