40 Day General Conference Challenge DAY 2
TALK: "Missionary Service Blessed My Life Forever" by M. Russell Ballard
NAME OF CHRIST: Lord
“The Lord has a work for you to do.”
-M. Russell Ballard
QUOTE ABOUT JESUS CHRIST:
“My mission is where I came to know that my Heavenly Father and my Savior, Jesus Christ, know and love me.”
-M. Russell Ballard
SCRIPTURE:
“Go forth … and establish my word; yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples … in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls.”
-Alma 17:11
INSPIRING QUOTE:
“My missionary service prepared me to be a better husband and father and to be successful in business. It also prepared me for a lifetime of service to the Lord in His Church.”
-M. Russell Ballard
INVITATION TO ACT:
“I invite you to gain a solid testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.”
-M. Russell Ballard
PROMISED BLESSING:
“The Lord knows you. When you are serving your mission, you will have experiences that will help you come to know Him better. You will grow spiritually in serving Him. In His name, you will be sent on errands to serve others. He will give you experiences with promptings from the Holy Ghost. The Lord will authorize you to teach in His name. You can show Him that He can trust you and can rely on you.”
-M. Russell Ballard
REFLECTION QUESTION:
- How can I better prepare myself and my family members for future missionary service?
LEARNING STYLE STUDY IDEA:
STEM LEARNERS: Make a list of experiences in my life that have had a significant impact on the direction of my life.
MY THOUGHTS:
I was blessed with the opportunity to serve a full-time mission to the Guayaquil Ecuador Missions (I served in three missions in 16 months). I loved teaching and testifying of Jesus Christ. I treasure the experiences I had on my mission and reflect on them often. I was blessed to see the hand of the Lord working in my life while serving and can see how the Lord guided my steps as I have become who I am today. MIssions are truly a blessing.
