I am excited to see when and where the Lord needs me to serve!
Finally, my favorite scripture and a key motivator:
There are a lot of things motivating me to serve a mission. First and foremost is my love of my Savior Jesus Christ, and all the happiness His Gospel has brought me. I can honestly say that EVERYTHING good in my life is somehow connected to my membership and belief in
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I want to do what small thing I can, give my widow's mite back to the Lord, to show my gratitude for all He has given me. I love Him--and He commanded those who love Him to feed His sheep. (John 21:15-17)
I believe Elder Russell M. Nelson said it beautifully:
"All missionaries... serve with the sole hope of
making life better for other people."
Finally, my favorite scripture and a key motivator:
"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God"
(Doctrine and Covenants 18:10).
What more can I say? I love God and I love His children. That's why I, and so many others, choose to go. I can't wait!
P.S. Your Christmas season is not complete until you've seen this. Beautiful.
