MISSIONARY WORK

“The decision to serve a mission will shape the spiritual destiny of the missionary, his or her spouse, and their posterity for generations to come. A desire to serve is a natural outcome of one’s conversion, worthiness, and preparation.” 
–Elder Russell M. Nelson

         “…Strive to fulfill that divine command…to take the fullness of the gospel abroad and bless the lives of people everywhere.” 
–Elder Russell M. Nelson

         “In a few months they are filled with the Spirit. They are filled with the joy that comes from bringing souls to Christ. They understand that they are helping Heavenly Father and the Savior in the great work of redemption. When they realize that, they are on fire.” 
–Elder M. Russell Ballard

         “Attitude is key.” 
–Elder M. Russell Ballard

“Missionaries take people out of the darkness of the world and lead them to the safety and light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.” 
–Elder M. Russell Ballard

        "Young people need to commit themselves early in life to the idea of a mission. That way, when they get older and begin to face some of the world's temptations, those temptations will be less likely to penetrate their hearts or minds. They will resist the temptations because they are focused on becoming a servant of the Lord."  
-Elder M. Russell Ballard

         "You are called to represent the Savior. Your voice to testify becomes the same as His voice, your hands to lift the same as His hands. His work is to bless His Father's spirit children with the opportunity to choose eternal life. So, your calling is to bless lives. ."Your call has eternal consequences for others and for you.” 
-President Henry B. Eyring

         “If you will respond to the invitation to share your beliefs and feelings about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, a spirit of love and a spirit of courage will be your constant companion.” 
–Elder L. Tom Perry

        “Your mission will be a sacred opportunity to bring others to Christ and help prepare for the Second Coming of the Savior.” 
–Elder Neil L. Andersen

         “Missionary service requires sacrifice. There will always be something you leave behind when you respond to the prophet’s call to serve.” 
–Elder Neil L. Andersen
