We Must Never Ignore Or Pass By

The Key [to Sharing The Gospel] Is That You Be Inspired Of God, That You Ask Him For Direction And Then Go And Do As The Spirit Prompts You.

Our Love For Our Father In Heaven And The Lord Jesus Christ Needs To Be Reflected In Our Daily Choices And Actions. They Have Promised Peace, Joy, And Happiness To Those Who Keep Their Commandments.

As Disciples Of Christ, We Need To Feel Genuine Charity For One Another. As We Do, New Light Will Come Into Our Own Lives. This Charity Is Essential In Missionary Work, But We Must Never Allow Ourselves To Treat Our Neighbors Only As Potential Converts. We Have Had The Sad Experience Of Seeing Members Of The Church Who Attempted To Convert Their Neighbors And Friends And, When They Did Not Respond, Withdrew Their Friendship And Neighborliness. We Must Not Be So Anxious To Share The Gospel That We Become Insensitive To The Feelings Of Others.

And Fathers, . . . Listen To [your Returned Missionary Sons], And Connect With Them In Regular, Focused Conversation. Talk With Them In Depth About Their Feelings And Desires. Pray With Them And Give Them Blessings As They Face The Important Decisions In Their Future.

The Words Of The Lord Are Found In The Scriptures And The Teachings Of The Apostles And Prophets. They Provide Us Counsel And Direction That, When Followed, Will Act Like A Spiritual Life Jacket And Will Help Us Know How To Hold On With Both Hands.
