Hello sisters!
I thought it would be nice to post a brief recap of the lesson given in Relief Society each Sunday. Today's Lesson was given by Chris Jones and it was off of the talk, "Put your trust in the Lord," by Elder Ballard. I have included the link for you to click on to read the talk. It's a beautiful talk about missionary work. In Chris' lesson, she read the scripture from 3 Nephi 27:29: "Therefore, ask and ye shall receive; knock, and it shall be opened up unto you; for he that asketh, receiveth; and unto him that knocketh, it shall be opened." This is a beautiful scripture. When we are involved in missionary work, the Lord will be there to guide and help. Both the sister missionaries and Sister Jones stated that missionary work first begins with showing a genuine friendship and love. Elder Ballard said,
"You don’t have to be an outgoing person or an eloquent, persuasive teacher. If you have an abiding love and hope within you, the Lord has promised if you “lift up your voices unto this people [and] speak the thoughts that [He] shall put into your hearts, … you shall not be confounded before men;
“[And] it shall be given you … in the very moment, what ye shall say” (D&C 100:5–6).
I too believe that missionary work begins with pure love. You sisters are amazing examples of sharing this love to others! This love touches people in ways we may never fully grasp.
