Last words as a missionary

I  love being a missionary. Working with people, inviting others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel is amazing! That is why it is our purpose as missionaries. The gospel is so simple! Faith in Christ and his Atonement, Repentance, Baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the End. That is it no more no less. There is no imaginary bar we have to reach. There is no passing grade. We are not here to earn heaven and eternal life. We are here to learn eternal life, to make heaven on earth whenever we can. Have faith for a better tomorrow. Have faith that through our Lord and Savior our broken pieces will be fixed. Give up that which is evil and devilish, all that truly brings pain, sorrow and misery. Give up your sins and Christ will fill you. Repent. Rely on him and his grace and he will make you into what you were designed to become. A son; A daughter; of the most High God to inherit his kingdom. Remember who you are. Follow him. Be Baptized! Make an eternal and unbroken promise with Him that you will love him, that you will serve him and that you will lift up his sons and daughters at all times. This is your duty. Receive his Holy Spirit into your life. Let him lead you, guide you, walk beside you. You will find the way.(1) Peace He leaves with you, peace He gives unto you but not as the world gives, let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid(2) for He is with you from all eternity to all eternity. Never give up. Straight is the way and narrow the gate which leads to the kingdom of heaven,(3) but He is with you and if you give Him your whole self he will carry you to the mansions of his father. If you love Him, if you serve Him, if you follow Him. This is my testimony. I know this work is true. I love the Lord with all of my soul! And so help me God, you will feel His love and know His way. It is the only and true way under heaven. All of this I say and bear witness in the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, Amen.

A servant of the Lord,
