Today I am doing a post full of some encouraging and inspirational things that missionaries I have been writing said to me. It is truly amazing to see what happens when a person dedicates themselves to serving the Lord. They become new people! I love these missionaries and I am so grateful for their example of service and love.
"No one can truly know exactly how you feel, except our Father and our Savior. Rely on them to help you through. Rely on the Plan. Have faith in the Plan. It really is true. Every last bit of it." Elder Erickson, London South Mission (Jul 30)
"Don't get too worried about the little things in life. They really don't matter. Just roll with the punches and keep moving forward." Elder Erickson, London South Mission (Aug 8)
"I know of the power that comes when you put the Lord first in all that you do, if you show him your faithfulness and commitment to him he will POUR out the blessings with friends family school safety and support in literally all you do! It is incredible to feel that power in all that you do. I keep working and striving to get to that point in my life and have continued to feel an increasing support from him." Elder Holmes, London South Mission (Aug 27)
"Just always keep the Lord first in your life and you will see the blessings hundred fold POURED out into your life in every way possible I KNOW IT. I've seen it and witnessed it in other peoples lives." Elder Holmes, London South Mission (Sep 3)
"First, this life, and specifically the mission is not about me. And second, I can't do this alone. I need to put all my trust in the Lord and allow him to direct my path. (Proverbs 3:15) I tried to rely on my own wisdom, but that will never work. Whether we are on a mission, in school, or anywhere else in life, we need to give up our pride unto the Lord and let Him help you." Elder Gutke, San Antonio, Texas Mission; Spanish speaking (Sep 13)
"In the first missionary lesson that we teach, we teach a lot about prophets. We usually compare the need of a prophet with a people standing behind a huge wall. On the other side of the wall there is Christ and our Heavenly Father. Because we can't see or hear them we're without their guidance. In other words, there's an apostasy. But our Heavenly Father reaches out and calls a prophet to stand on the wall to communicate with our Heavenly Father and to share with us what we need to do. Our Heavenly Father does this because he loves us and doesn't want us to be lost without any direction." Elder Køster, Reno, Nevada Mission (Sep 27)
