mish wisdom.

sooo I got this letter yesterday from my friend who is on a mish, currently in the Provo MTC. Everything he wrote was cool, but there was this excerpt that I wanted to share, cause when I read it I was just like wow, you don't sound like a 19 year old boy. It's crazy how much insight these mishs get and how in tune they are with the Spirit; it is AMAZING. So w/o further adieu, here goes. He knows how much I LOVE mish work and I've been writing him about how I've been going on splits with the mishs. So he wrote this concerning missionary work,

"I had a thought come to me the other day that I wanted to share with you. When Christ was on the earth, He was the PERFECT MISSIONARY; perfectly obedient, the Spirit as His constant companion, and demonstrating love for ALL. Yet, despite this, did Jesus convert everybody that He taught? No. People have their agency no matter how good a missionary we are. Yes, it's frustrating sometimes, but that's the way it has to be. We can't convert everyone. We need to remember that and not get down on ourselves. It just means we need to double our efforts to find the people that will listen. And how do we do that? Put our trust in God, thrust in our sickles, open our mouths, FOLLOW the Spirit, and LOVE and talk to EVERYONE."

I thought that was sooo cool. I've never thought about mish work like that before, but it's true. Another mish in the MTC challenged his family and friends to study Preach My Gospel everyday. So I'm gonna do it. Or try my hardest to. The church is true! Mish work is awesome. Open your mouth and you will be blessed :]
