BAGAMANOC | Day 215 |
NOVEMBER 16, 2014:
Our Branch President assigned me as one of the speakers in the sacrament meeting today. I shared about the importance and blessings of missionary work. Every member is a missionary. We can share the gospel with our non-member families, friends, co-workers, neighbors, or anyone that we know that needed it. I know that it is not that easy and challenging at first but if we develop our love for others we can do it. Becoming closer and submissive to God really helps. We can do this by praying sincerely and studying the scriptures. We must also learn to be like our Savior, Jesus Christ, and walk the path of discipleship. I remember what my Trainer (Elder Nielsen) told me when I was a new missionary. He said that a disciple is a learner. A disciple of Christ is someone who is learning to be like Him, to think, to feel, and to act as He does. We must not be afraid to say what is in our hearts and look for opportunities to share the gospel in a casual and not forceful way. If we do these things we must trust the Lord to work His miracles. It is not our job to convert people. That is the role of the Holy Ghost. We must also set a good example for others. I know if we do all these things, we will make the lives of other people happier in this life and the other life as well. We must not be selfish and share these gospel blessings to others. The greatest gift of all the gifts given by God is eternal life. 💗
After the meeting, I also did some baptismal interviews. We started catching up on all the training studies of my companion and made our lost time while we're away. We also did a short weekly planning session and went out and proselyte at night.
