The missionary objective of these meetings is to report, plan, and coordinate assignments to find, teach, fellowship, and activate.
My dear Ward Missionaries. I invite you to take a few minutes and listen to this song .
I invite you to read and ponder a few helpful and thoughtful quotes from leaders.
“You have to be willing to offend. You have to be willing to take the risk. That’s exactly where the faith comes in. Our commitment is supposed to be a test. It is supposed to be hard. It is supposed to be impractical in the terms of this world.”
“I am convinced that missionary work is not easy because salvation is not a cheap experience. Salvation never was easy. We are The Church of Jesus Christ, this is the truth, and He is our Great Eternal Head. How could we believe it would be easy for us when it was never, ever easy for Him?”
“If you’re not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint on on your heart- painted, as Paul said, ‘not with ink, but with the spirit of the living God.’”
“Our goal is to achieve eternal life. That is the greatest goal in the world. We are not opposed to goals. We do not want stake and full-time mission presidents to establish quotas for the missionaries. Rather, we expect them to inspire missionaries to set their own goals, and make them high enough to challenge their very best efforts, and work to achieve them. … We look to you to teach these principles and follow up.”
To better follow the instructions from Pres. Kimball, please note that I (and the Lord) trust you to set your own goals and manage your own efforts.
Only 30 minutes a week and great are the rewards.
“The day is gone when you can be a quiet and comfortable Christian. Your religion is not just about showing up for church on Sunday. It is about showing up as a true disciple from Sunday morning through Saturday night. … There is no such thing as a ‘part-time’ disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Below is a picture of a tree that overcame the strength and hardness of a rock to eventually break through and flourish over time. It has such a wonderful message for each of us. That is what this life is all about.
Planting these seeds with others and within ourselves is our decision. Are we planting good or bad seeds? God-like seeds that will someday blossom and lead our path to Jesus Christ? Or, are we spreading seeds of eternal destruction and growing paths of evil seeds that lead us the opposite direction of Jesus Christ?
I love each of you. I witness to each of you that your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you. They will assist you in your efforts to simply plant seeds.
May the good Lord bless each of you in your personal lives. May he bring peace, charity, health, revelations and the righteous desires of your hearts. In Jesus name Amen.
