(Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven)
Our family were all asked to give us advice before we left.
These are some suggestions:
Brush your teeth everyday
Say your prayers everyday
Video/skype/facetime with us
Boom!
Talk and show interest and ask questions about others lives and show pictures of your family.
Don't worry about your kids, they'll be okay.
Don't have hard discussions/evaluations right before planning, and always have ice cream!
Be obedient.
Just do it! Don't think too hard , just go forth
Write down and focus on happy thoughts.
Acknowledge blessings from missionary service.
We spent a week practicing "Preach my Gospel Training": Invite, Help, Come, Receive.
I had no idea that Preach my Gospel was directed to us so specifically. We need to be taught how to invite others every time we do ministering. It would make us go more regularly. I'm so grateful for renewal of faith and love and service. We were inviting people regularly everyday. Sometimes another companionship we were paired with and sometimes a member volunteer and sometimes our instructors. We also were challenged/invited. As we continue to "invite" we commit to improve ourselves and match the invite we have extended. Such beauty in this gospel.
Reread "The Doctrine of Christ" With new understanding: https://www.
Be like the stars and planets, steadfast and immovable. Be consistently true to what you know.
Turn outward in love, compassion and service.
Avoid the cookie monster syndrome .... "I want cookies NOW". It's not about YOU! We were blessed to watch a great MTC devotional from Elder Bednar and have Elder Kim Clark come teach, lift and inspire us this week.
There are beautiful, dedicated and inspiring people here. We aim to emulate the Savior as he calls, "Come Follow Me".
