Catch The Wave

An unprecedented wave of enthusiasm for missionary work is sweeping the entire earth.

More of you young men and women will catch this wave as you strive to be worthy of mission calls. You see this as a wave of truth and righteousness. You see your opportunity to be on the crest of that wave.

You parents, teachers, and others, catch the wave as you prepare our rising generation to be worthy of missionary service.

You adults, catch the wave with help for the spiritual, physical, and financial preparation of future missionaries

This wave of truth and righteousness is wondrous! It is not man-made! It comes from the Lord, who said, “I will hasten my work in its time.”

I thank God and His Son, Jesus Christ, for the Restoration and its power to propel a magnificent wave of truth and righteousness across the earth.

(The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, General Conference April 2013 ELDER RUSSELL M. NELSON)

Be an EXAMPLE of the believers



Is it enough for me to just believe?  Paul during the difficulty of the apostasy that no we must be more, we must "be examples of the believers."  We never know who we may be effecting by not only our "conversations" or words but more importantly by our "charity" or deeds.  (1 Tim 4:12)

When we choose to serve a mission we help create a family legacy of missionary service.  My own grandparents and parents histories and stories from their missions helped spark a desire for me to serve.  It's not the reason I went but it is part of the reason I sought out my own testimony and desire to go.

This weekend as we walked to the Laketown rodeo I started to notice all of the similarities between Ryker and one of his younger cousins.  It really dawned on me how much the younger cousin looks up to the "oldest cousin" and what an example Ryker is setting for generations to come.

The photo is of Ryker teaching his little cousin his official work boot tying technique.
