The biggest challenge facing a missionary today is to forget himself and lose himself in the work.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Missionary work has never been easy, and yet the joyful rewards cannot be equaled by any other experience.
The course that I have uniformly pursued, ever since I became a missionary, has been rather peculiar. In order to become an acceptable and eloquent preacher in a foreign language, I deliberately abjured my own. When I crossed the river, I burnt my ships.
Many shoulder heavy burdens of righteous responsibility which, on occasion, seem so difficult to bear. I have heard those challenges termed impossible.
I'm on a missionary journey to become the best version of myself.
If you are a good missionary, you will return home with the desire to continue to serve the Lord, to keep His commandments, and to do His will.
The more one forgets himself - by giving himself to a cause to serve or another person to love - the more human he is.
For one, I think as a missionary you gotta be stubborn. And you gotta try to be persuasive.
I am surprised that I cannot recall whether my desire to become a minister transformed itself into a wish to lead the more militant life of missionary, by a slow process or suddenly.
The key to successful missionary work is a close relationship between the missionaries and the members. Creating an environment in working with members that will bring more into the Church.
In this world filled with challenges, we do need help from time to time. Religion, eternal truth, and our missionaries are vital parts of that help.
