Talk directed at Priesthood holders aged 12 through 25 - We think about and pray for you constantly. (exhortation to serve a mission)
Do you ever wonder why you were sent at this time?
Days of great opportunity and responsibility
These are OUR days
We are to help prepare the world for the Second Coming
Lord needs missionaries
Missionary work requires sacrifice
Story: Sidney Going chose to go to on mission in 1961 at age 18 instead of joining the world renowned New Zealand All-Blacks Rugby team. He thought of the opportunity not what he was leaving behind.
Blessings always out weight anything.
Don’t Think, “What will I get” but, “what can I give.”
Moses 7:62 - Righteousness will I send out of Heaven.
Daniel - Grow like a rolling rock.
D&C 29:7 - Ye are called to bring to pass my elect
1837 - missionaries called to England → Austria → Barbados → China
The sun never sets on the righteousness of missionary work.
Missionary Work requires Spiritual Work:
Preparation and worthiness is issue to the sacred assignment
One might not be able to Serve; the Lord will open other doors
50% serve in their own home lands
Sidney Going is now serving an adult mission with his wife Colleen in Syndey, Australia.
The savior has promised, “I will come.”
Scripture?? - The Lord will set his foot upon the mountain
