MISSIONARY WORK

As members of the church we are all strongly encouraged to be missionaries in are everyday lives. The church is pushing missionary work more and more as the Saviors return is close. As members of the church lets do everything we can to bring those we love and care about so much into the Lords kingdom. I am so grateful for this opportunity I have of being a missionary to help those who seem lost or unhappy. It is a very rewarding thing when I see someone change and grow closer to the Lord. I want nothing more then for everyone to listen to our unique message of the restoration of the gospel. It is so important to me, it has greatly blessed my life and I know it can bless everyone else's life as well. 


President Spencer W. Kimball (1973-1985)
"Now is the moment in the timetable of the Lord to carry the gospel farther than it has ever been carried before...Many a person in this world is crying, knowingly and unknowingly, 'come over...and help us.' He might be your neighbor. She might be your friend. He might be a relative. She might be someone you met only yesterday. But we have what they need. Let us take new courage from our studies and pray, as did Peter, 'And now Lord,...grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word'
(Acts 4:29)" (Teachings of Spencer W. Kimball [1982], 546).
