I continue to be impressed with you...Elder LaMont. I continue to be impressed with your understanding and truly believe you comprehend the purpose of your mission. It is first for you to gain a sure testimony of the Lord Jesus Christ and His ministry and His atonement. I have a friend who had not one baptism his entire mission in Germany. As he was flying home, he told me he finally realized what he had gained from his mission. It was his sure testimony. He had studied the scriptures diligently and prayed for a knowledge of the Lord during his mission, and labored diligently to find people who would listen to the message. As a result of his pondering during the flight, he felt so wonderful by the time he landed, and his appreciation for his mission is one of the best things he has in this life. I believe you are right about your "Clear Cut Vision for the Salvation of Souls" and challenge you to live it. One other thing, Elder, after people are baptized they need the continued support of those who are in the church already… the members of their Ward especially.. I can testify that a a new and growing testimony can be a fragile thing, and something that can be damaged by members who do not work to integrate the new members into the church. I know this to be true by first-hand experience. If asked to speak in a Sacrament meeting, ask, challenge, or exhort the Ward members to help in the great work you are doing by bringing newly baptized members into full fellowship. Your work is to find the souls to save, theirs is to help in the task of strength in the gospel. Keaton, err… Elder LaMont, I love you so much and am so excited for the work you are doing, and I pray for you everyday that you will find the poor souls such as we were some 35 years ago who longed for the messages of peace and joy you will bring into their lives. May the Lord continue to bless you.<br />Grumpah.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597260234519275001noreply@blogger.com
