Missionary Service
"Some of you may be shy by nature or consider yourselves inadequate to respond affirmatively to the call to serve. Remember that this is the Lord’s work, and when we are on the Lord’s errand, we are entitled to the Lord’s help. The Lord will shape the back to bear the burden placed upon it."
—Thomas S. Monson, "The Lord Needs Missionaries", Liahona and Ensign
Topics: Missionary Service"Missionaries strive to follow Jesus Christ in both word and deed. They preach of Jesus Christ and of His Atonement. They teach of the literal Restoration of Christ’s ancient Church through the Lord’s first latter-day prophet, Joseph Smith."
—Russell M. Nelson, "Ask the Missionaries! They Can Help You!", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Missionary Service"We encourage you to keep all that is good and true and then see if we can add more. 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."
—Russell M. Nelson, "Ask the Missionaries! They Can Help You!", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Missionary Service"Ours is not a feeble message. It is not a fleeting task. It is not hapless; it is not hopeless; it is not to be consigned to the ash heap of history. It is the work of Almighty God, and it is to change the world."
—Jeffrey R. Holland, "The First Great Commandment", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Missionary Service, Church"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."
—Russell M. Nelson, "Ask the Missionaries! They Can Help You!", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
Topics: Missionary Service"As your circumstances allow, as you are eligible for retirement, and as your health permits, I encourage you to make yourselves available for full-time missionary service. Both husband and wife will have a greater joy as they together serve our Father’s children."
—Thomas S. Monson, "Welcome to Conference", Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
