Relief Society Lesson: Missionary Work

This week we had a combined Priesthood and Relief Society lesson taught by Joseph Crapo on Missionary Work.

He showed videos from the church's new website titled, Hastening the Work of Salvation.


We talked about the importance of members in missionary work. That just the missionaries and just the members cannot bring others unto Christ alone. We MUST work together to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.
"We are all in this together. With fellow ward members and missionaries, we plan and pray and help one another. Please keep the full-time missionaries in your thoughts and prayers. Trust them with your family and friends. The Lord trusts them and has called them to teach and bless those who seek Him."  -Elder Neil L. Andersen


We discussed common concerns about sharing missionary work with others and the helps to overcome those concerns.  Here were some of the suggestions...

- Get to know the missionaries serving in our Ward.
- Ask the missionaries for guidance with how to proceed with those around you that you want to share the gospel with.
- Pray for opportunities to reach others.
- When an opportunity comes, speak up.
- Remember the blessings the gospel has given you. This will increase your desire to share it with others.
