Life blood of the Church is missionary work.
Missionary work is like exercising without it the church would decay.
Muscle atrophy.
Push your limits.
Missionary stories
did not many baptized? The one convert baptized his whole street & his whole family.
A mission president only baptized one person on his mission years ago. He asked the teacher's mother about her family because she was his only convert. Elder Booth is beloved in their family.
"Failed" on mission causes people to go less active.
Work for the one.
What am I to do to contribute to the Church, Joseph?
2 ... Iift up your voices as with the sound of a trump, to declare my gospel unto a crooked and perverse generation.
D&C 33:8 Open your mouths and they shall be filled
9 Open your mouths and they shall be filled
10 Open your mouths and they shall be filled
You never know who is ready, and share will prepare other,
Gather the elect.
Kirkland is where Syndey Rigdon & his congregation joined the church, preparing for the gathering of the saints there; a fruit of Oliver Cowdery, Peter Witmer Jr., Parley P. Pratt, and Ziba Peterson.
D&C 4:2...he that thrusteth in his sickle with his might, the same layeth up in store that he perisheth not, but bringeth salvation to his soul;
solemn obligation
solemn responsibility
Brother Diaz was dealthly ill, & he covenanted that he will consecrate himself to missionary work. When he recovered, he got sick again. He definitely thought that he would die. He covenanted again; health for missionary service. His new covenant & health was paralyzing, but he had to dedicate himself or he will die. He became known as a missionary machine, sharing the gospel with everyone tactfully. The fruits of his efforts are hundreds converted.
Be a missionary 100% or people will not believe you.
You can have peace in the middle of a storm with Jesus Christ; an amenable comment.
All commandments will bring safety & peace to your life.
