I honestly must say seeing some being baptized and then
receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost is truly amazing. The sister
missionaries in our ward had one of their investigators follow the example of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ being baptized by someone holding the
Priesthood Authority of God. How great was his joy and, more importantly,
how great was God's joy.
My companion and I had an okay week. We invited about 5
persons to be baptized … all of them said YES! Now we are trying super hard to
get them to church and eventually following through on the commitments they
have made. It takes me back to when I was baptized and received the wonderful
gift of the Holy Ghost. It was a while ago and looking now at these souls
whom the Lord has prepared to bring into his fold gives me great joy. Sadly, we
sometimes forget the joy we feel is not being experienced by others, so it is
up to us to help them find it. It is hard to think of what to say or how
to go about doing it but you should always remember you are not alone because
you are the light placed in the world to help your families, friends and others
receive, accept and eventually be brought back to the presence of our Heavenly
Father.

Please do not say, “I cannot do it” because YOU CAN! You are the
best missionaries out there, so go and do.
I
just found out an uncle of mine has died and another is in the hospital with
the same illness. They are brothers, and
they, unlike us, have not yet received the blessings of membership in this
wonderful restored gospel. Please do not
wait because, who knows, the moment you open your mouth to speak you could be
saving a soul in the process. I urge and
ask you to be missionaries for that is who you are! Elder Quentin L. Cook said, “we must fear and
faith …” so lets exercise our faith and help Heavenly Father bring His children
back home to Him.
