“Lift Up Your Heart and Rejoice” by Marcos A. Aidukaitis

40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 12

TALK: “Lift Up Your Heart and Rejoice” by Marcos A. Aidukaitis

NAMES OF CHRIST: Lord, Exemplar

“When we serve as full-time missionaries, we will be challenged at times, but the Lord Himself is our great exemplar and guide in such circumstances. He understands what a difficult mission is. With His help, we can do hard things. He will be by our side (see Doctrine and Covenants 84:88), and He will bless us greatly as we humbly serve Him.”

-Marcos A. Aidukaitis

QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:

“But the Lord Jesus Christ was my great inspiration not to be afraid of the future as I strove to serve Him with all my heart.” 

– Marcos A. Aidukaitis

SCRIPTURE:

“Lift up your heart and rejoice, for the hour of your mission is come.”

–Doctrine and Covenants 31:3

INSPIRING QUOTE:

“Yes, you have been prepared from before this life and born now to participate in the great work of the gathering of Israel on both sides of the veil in these latter days.”

– Marcos A. Aidukaitis

INVITATION TO ACT:

“Dear youth throughout the world, I extend the same invitation that our prophet, President Nelson, has made to all of you ‘to enlist in the youth battalion of the Lord to help gather Israel.’”

– Marcos A. Aidukaitis

PROMISED BLESSING:

 “Among the many rich blessings He has given me for serving Him as a full-time missionary are a greater faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement and a stronger knowledge and testimony of His teachings, so that I am not easily swayed by “every wind of doctrine” (Ephesians 4:14). I lost my fear of teaching. My capacity to face challenges with optimism increased. By observing individuals and families I met or taught as a missionary, I learned that the teachings of God are true when He says that sin does not bring true happiness and that obedience to the commandments of God helps us prosper both temporally and spiritually (see Mosiah 2:41; Alma 41:10). And I learned for myself that God is a God of miracles (see Mormon 9).”

– Marcos A. Aidukaitis

REFLECTION QUESTION:

  • What more can I do to gather Israel?

LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:

HANDS-ON LEARNERS: Eat two different treats while reading this talk. Assign one to eat while reading about gathering Israel on this side of the veil and eat the other while reading about gathering Isreal on the other side of the veil.

MY THOUGHTS:

So many blessings come from serving a full time mission. I was blessed to come to know my Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. I learned how they each individually worked with me. I learned to trust and rely on their promises of comfort and protection. I witnessed miracles in the lives of those I taught and was a first hand witness to the miracle they performed in my life.

What great reasons to lift up your heart and rejoice!
