Ward Mission Message

I don't know about you, but I am not like Ammon, or Alma, or most of the great missionaries that we read about in the scriptures. I am reserved. I am a people watcher. I like to have a genuine relationship with someone before I share the Gospel with them. So sometimes the 'obvious ways' of sharing the Gospel intimidate me.

To help me with this, I found a fun quiz on the Church's website that helps people find out their sharing style. There is a series of questions that you answer (similar to a personality quiz- no personal information is needed). Then it gives suggestions on how to share the Gospel based on that style. I am happy to report that the suggestions provided are not intimidating at all! 

There is not one cookie-cutter way to share the Gospel. We are all different with various strengths. Try out the quiz for yourself to find new ideas on how you can love, share, and invite, just like the Savior:

Temple & Family History

"The Temple lies at the center of strengthening our faith" President Nelson

"The Lord has declared that despite today's unprecedented challenges, those who build their foundations upon Jesus Christ, and have learned how to draw upon His power, need not succumb to the unique anxieties of this era."
