Ward Mission Message

I was pondering how life experiences can be similar to missionary work.  When we are born into this world, it takes to time and practice until we learn how to walk, talk and read.  Also, the same to learn new skills.  How to be a good husband, wife, and parents.  The same is true in becoming the best we can be in sharing the gospel.  I would like to share a quote with you relating to this by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf:  The important thing is that you don’t give up.  Keep trying to get it right.  You will eventually become better, happier, and more authentic.  Talking with others about your faith will become normal and natural.  In fact, the gospel will be such an essential, precious part of your lives that it would feel unnatural not to talk about it with others.  That may not happen immediately - it is a lifelong effort.  But it will happen.  (Brother Mike Major)
