Hello family.
How's it going?
So lately my companion and I have been working a lot with the members and working super close with our ward mission leader because we want our converts to stay active in the church after they get baptized, and church leaders have received revelation that through members is the way to go. We could spend all day just working solo, and we could get a ton of baptisms, and have lessons all day long, but those that progressed to baptism most likely wouldn't stay active in the church. But when we go to the members, and they introduce their friends to the church (not us), and they invite them to church, beautiful things happen. People that normally wouldn't be open to the gospel are suddenly receptive, and they become stronger converts than they otherwise would be.
Through working in the organization of the church, I'm struck by how perfect it is. There is a solution to every problem we have in the organization of the church. The only problem is people don't always magnify their callings. Every calling in the church directly relates to missionary work, from bishop right down to the nursery. We have had investigators who wouldn't be able to go to church if there wasn't a nursery to watch their kids and if they couldn't go to church, they wouldn't be able to partake of those blessings.
Now I realize how much I missed out on all that time I had as teachers quorum president and first assistant in the priest quorum. I never went out to visit the less active quorum members, and now I realize how much of a difference I could have made in their lives if I would have magnified my calling. Now I am going to make it a lifelong goal to do the most I possibly can in whatever calling I have. And I invite you all to do the same, I know there is great potential in this church because it is lead by living prophets, we all just have to put our shoulders to the wheel, and prepare the world for the second coming of Christ. It is our responsibility and privilege, to prepare the world to receive its king.
Adios, love yáll!!!!
