Missionary work

Here are my notes on a two church talks by the Mission President fo the Utah county mission and his wife. Any misinformation is the fault of the note taker. (Title by Melva)

– President Nelson: the lord is hastening his work. He addressed the youth, the sisters and then the elders to contribute to the work.
– We need the members to be a source of investigators.
– Kimble says there is more to mission work than tracking. It is through the members of the church.
– Many Utah members have never seen missionaries in Utah.
– Your success will be increased as you harness the members. The member-missionary message was created to share from missionaries to members.
– Moroni shared at the end of Mormon verse 30. I speak unto you as if I speak from the dead. This book so for you. These are the things we have desired concerning our brothers. Are according to the prayers of those who have dwelt in the land. Prayers will be granted according to their faith.
– We need our prayers and we need your faith.
– Do having moved 33 times in her life she made the commitment that each new place she lived that she would commit her life to where she lived and to establish the relationships of where you live.t
– The lord has panted you here in this spot for a specific reason.
– The Lord orchestrates the locations of people to be in our lives so we can influence them.
Talk two:
– Over a thousand new residents come to Utah country every single month.
– Elder Christenson: many are coming are many of the Lords elect and gathering them to Utah.
– The last of us to expect to be a good example but to welcome and embrace them and share the gospel message with them.
– Luke 10:30 parable of the Good Samaritan. Jericho is the lowest city in the world. It was a place of a bit of a vacation area. We could be considered as half-dead spiritually. As spiritually we are separated from God. The first two helpers had other diversions that prevented them from helping. The Samaritan acted. Took care of him. And took him to the in (could be interpreted) to the church.
– Elder Oaks says that the first step we can do is play for the desire to help. 2. We can be faithful and obedient to the spirit so we can recognize the spirt. 3. Pray for the inspiration of what we can do.
– Nelson: if you ask the Lord to put someone in your path, it will happen.
– Maybe the Good Samaritan had prayed that morning on how he can help someone today.
– An investigator moved to Utah to join the church. No member talked to him. He came late and left church early. After five months two sisters found him. In the second lesson, she invited him to join the church. He happily accepted.
– Nonmembers are all around us.
– If we pray for the opportunity for those who are half dead (man in Good Samaritan) if you have true desire your eyes will be opened and it will happen.
