To Russia With Love

1) We must always remember that we are agents for Jesus Christ... We have to think about what He would do if He were here on the earth. He's not, but we are, and this is our responsibility and our privilege to do his work. We have to wipe of our lenses and see others the way that Christ would see them, especially our companions and everyone we meet.

2) Obedience... Amazing blessings come from being obedient and we are able to have the Spirit with us. We are on missions... for whatever reason. But, this is our offering to the Lord. Would we want to give the Lord a sub-par offering? No, I know for myself that I want to give him a pure offering, knowing that I have done my very best.

3) BE HAPPY! The gospel is the happiest best news in the world! Happiness and light are attractive qualities and people will be attracted to our light and the message we have as we bring it happily and joyfully! We have the amazing privilege to go to Russia where people desperately need the happiness of the gospel. I know that people are being prepared by the Lord right now especially for us. All 12 tribes of Israel are present in Russia and we play an important role in the gathering of Israel and fulfilling prophesy! It’s so cool! This is an incredible joy to bring others the happiness of the gospel, so have to be happy as we do it!

4) Wear it. Wear your testimony on your sleeve. Never be ashamed or embarrassed by the gospel. We have all had special life experiences and circumstances and we all have special testimonies that can influence others SOO much! We will be blessed and others will be blessed and strengthen as we bear our testimonies as much as possible, everyday. Testimony, and the SPIRIT, combined with the BOM are our most powerful tools.
