Ward Mission Message

Christ directed us to "go and bring forth fruit, that your fruit should remain." When we are striving to bring others into the gospel we are not only blessing their lives but ours as well. As the open house for the Taylorsville temple has ended, I know that many of you had the opportunity to take others to the open house and share with them your testimony. What a wonderful missionary tool this has been I am sure that many seeds have been planted. If you have had a special spiritual experience and feel comfortable in sharing it, please do so, we would love to hear about them or share them in class or with others that we may all be partakers of the spirit that you felt.         

Thank you for your loving spirits. (Brother Peck)

Ward Mission Message

Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf in his April Conference talk reminds us of the importance of missionary work and how we can be successful:

“Understand that it’s not your job to convert people. That is the role of the Holy Ghost. Your role is to share what is in your heart and live consistent with your beliefs.

So, don’t be discouraged if someone does not accept the gospel message immediately. It is not a personal failure.

That is between the individual and Heavenly Father.

Yours is to love God and love your neighbors, His children.

Believe, love, do.

Follow this path, and God will work miracles through you to bless His precious children.

This will help you to do what disciples of Jesus Christ have done since ancient times. His gospel and His Church are an important part of your life and of who you are and what you do. Therefore, invite others to come and see and come and help, and God will do His saving work, and they will come and stay.”

We are all part of the gathering of Israel!  Our Heavenly Father knows and loves us and will bless us as we strive to live and share the gospel.

Ward Mission Message

I’d like to share a quote with you from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland which is the following statement:  But perhaps even more important than speaking is listening. These people are not lifeless objects disguised as a baptismal statistic.  They are children of God, our brothers and sisters, and they need what we have.  Be genuine. Reach out sincerely.  Ask these friends what matters most to them.  What do they cherish, and what do they hold dear?  And then listen.                                  

 If the setting is right you might ask what their fears are, what they yearn for, or what they feel is missing in their lives. I promise you that something in what they say will always highlight a truth of the gospel about which you can bear testimony and about which you can offer more.

I really like his message in teaching us how to share gospel messages.  I truly feel like what he said is that we need to be genuine to people that we come in contact with that aren’t members or inactive in the church.  We should try and be a friend and listen to what they say and we will hear things that the spirit will testify to us that we should share our testimony about.  (Brother Mike Major)
