Wow this week has been incredible we have had the whole first presidency and all the quorem of the twelve here at some point on campus this past week. On tuesday, Elder Bednar addressed us and 7 apostles were on the stand! He gave a great talk that was called Becoming "Preach my Gospel" Missionaries. He had 5 main points which were:
1) Understand that they serve and represent Jesus Christ
2) Are Worthy
3) Treasure up the words of Eternal LIfe (refer to Doctrine and Covenants 6; 11:21 and Alma 31:5)
4) Understand that the Holy Ghost is the ultimate and true teacher (Get out of the way! Let the Holy Ghost to his job!)
5) Teaching is much more than teaching and talking (Observe, listen, and discern before you speak)
The greatest part aws when he gave his Apostolic Promise that "You can do this!"
After the fireside, i met my mission president! President Miles! He is great! He served in Germany about 40 years ago and hasn't spoken German since! This will be a grand learning adventure for us all! :)
I love our purpose as missionaries "To invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored Gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and his atonement, repentance, baptism recieve the gift of the hg and endure to the ende. live it love it!
