The importance of Members in missionary work



This week I have learned a lot about "teamwork". Sharing the gospel isn't only the responsibility of one missionary. It isn't only the job of one companionship. It isn't the job of the companionship and the ward mission leader. It is the whole ward working together to bring to pass the eternal life of man. You members are super important! As you share the gospel with your friends, you are fulfilling your baptismal covenent ("...willing to bear one another’s burdens, that they may be light; yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in..." Mosiah 18:8-10). If you don't know how to do that, or it's hard or scary, guess who you can ask. The missionaries! (And I can email you individually a recording of a fireside with bunches of grand ideas :D). I know that through being one in heart and mind, we can share the gospel and baptize converts. I know that Jesus Christ lives and that as we follow Him, we will be happy and we will want to share that happiness. So go and share it! In the name of Jesus Christ, amen. followhim.mormon.org
