Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end.
There are four couples in our district. Our district leader is Elder Andrus, and the group includes L to R - Elder and Sister Wheeler, Elder and Sister Andrus, Brother Copans - our instructor - Elder and Sister Sommerfeldt, and Elder and Sister Bangerter. We enjoy each other and have an easy relationship with one another. We have also enjoyed several excellent teachers!
This evening we attended an MTC Devotional, with Elder Lynn G. Robbins of the Seventy as our guest speaker. As we sung "Called to Serve" with all the other missionaries at the MTC, the Spirit sent chills up our spines. Elder Robbins spoke to Chapter 9 of "Preach My Gospel"in "How do I find people to teach?" Nothing happens in missionary work until we find someone to teach. So, we need to open our mouths. The Lord often leads investigators to the missionaries, but again, we need to open our mouths, and bear testimony of key principles.
- pray for miracles
- pray for spiritual sensitivities to recognize opportunities
- open your eyes before you open your mouth so you can connect with people
- develop boldness
A missionary name-tag is a license to open your mouth.
- success if going from failure to failure with enthusiasm
- the Lord will bless you with success
