The missionary objective of these meetings is to report, plan, and coordinate assignments to find, teach, fellowship, and activate.

.  I cannot thank each of you enough for your willingness to serve.

Please remember this calling came from the Lord through the Bishop.  All we are asking is to commit 30 minutes a week to make contact with any of your assigned families.  Bake cookies, take things from gardens, drop off birthday cards, Easter Treats.  Send a text message, make phone call . 

Ask the Lord for directions and HE will inspire you how to begin to build these friendships.  Whether you are a Husband Wife team, or just assigned by yourself.  The good Lord will always be your companion as you endeavor to do HIS work. 

Pray for the gift of Charity, of revelation, of discernment.  Pray for courage and peace in your hearts.

Our (Payson 10th Ward), dear Ward Missionaries. Perhaps the following will help you feel the calling from the Lord to do the best you can with your personal circumstances to get to know your assigned families and develop those friendships.

“When the Lord delivers this person to your view, just chat—about anything. You can’t miss. You don’t have to have a prescribed missionary message. Your faith, your happiness, the very look on your face is enough to quicken the honest in heart. Haven’t you ever heard a grandmother talk about her grandchildren? That’s what I mean—minus the photographs! The gospel will just tumble out. You won’t be able to contain yourself!” (Jeffrey R. Holland)

Stand fast, ye Saints of God, hold on a little while longer, and the storm of life will be past, and you will be rewarded by that God whose servants you are, and who will duly appreciate all your toils and afflictions for Christ’s sake and the Gospel’s. Your names will be handed down to posterity as Saints of God.From a report from Joseph Smith and his counselors in the First Presidency, Apr. 7, 1841, Nauvoo, Illinois, published in Times and Seasons, Apr. 15, 1841, p. 385.

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?

The planting of 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.
