"My Third Mission"

 

                                             

We Look for The One

Every one of our Father in Heaven's children is precious in His sight. Jesus Christ suffered for all, not 

some. A disciple s ministry includes looking after, and looking for, the one. A way we do this is by 

acknowledging people. When we enter into their homes, or into their neighborhoods, or see them in 

the streets, we are no respecter of persons. We see them for who they are and what they can become

through Christ. We recognize their divine worth. The worth of their soul precise in the sight of God!

One's age does not matter, their height, their profession, marital status, financial situation, education 

level, past mistakes, or any other identifying factor. The identifier that we are after is inherent in their 

DNA. It is this: Everyone is a son or daughter of God created in His image. And because of this, 

everyone has divine potential. This knowledge helps us look into the eyes and hearts of those we 

teach. It allows us to treat them with Heavenly Love. It causes us to pause and think for just a moment 

about how we might approach them the way He would approach them. We invest in others 

differently when we see them as He sees them.

We know that a hallmark of Jesus ministry was looking for the one. He would leave the 99, to find 

the one. “What a man of you, having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth not leave the

ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?” (Luke 15:4). So too 

we seek after the one.

June 30, 2024 Sunday.  On this day we had successful 7 baptisms and confirmed, and in the whole month of June we have 8 souls that have been converted to the true church of Jesus Christ. The married couple. Five boys. “I know that God is happy to see his children gradually returning to him”.

D&C 18:16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!

There is a saying

 “Starve the problems, feed the opportunities”

●How can this be applied to missionary work? 

○Try not to focus on problems. 

○Instead, try to focus on what we can do through faith in Jesus Christ. Feed the 

good things.

■ As we feed the good, it will grow. 

■Faith over fear. 

 Faith 

  —                                                   

  Fear 

The Lord wants us to improve 

●We improve as we continue to strive.

 ○ Drop by drop we get better and better each day.

 ○ If we stop trying, we stop growing. 

●He did not send us here to fail.

 ○ Failure happens when we stop trying.

 ○ As we teach investigators to keep striving to follow Christ no matter the 

challenges they will always be blessed.

Focus on Christ 

Having a fixed focus on Jesus Christ enables us to see through the midst of darkness because He is 

light. He is also the way, the truth, and the life ( John 14:6). As representatives of Jesus Christ and 

His restored church, we seek to humbly emulate Him in our missionary efforts. To bring light to those 

in darkness. To show the way by teaching the truth and inviting new life through the covenant of 

baptism and confirmation. It is only in and through Jesus Christ that we can receive exaltation.
