Ward Mission Message

I thought I would share with you counsel that Elder McConkie gave regarding missionary work that made me ponder about myself (Brother Peck):  "Perhaps what is wrong is that we have not desired in faith with all our hearts to bring souls into the kingdom. Perhaps we have not made up our minds that we can bring people into the church."  

We need to convince the Lord that we want to bring others unto baptism then He will bless us in the work. I know that the Lord loves you and for all that you are doing.
