May 6-12 (Individual Study)   Mosiah 7-10 "In the Strength of the Lord"

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)
