Faith to Hasten the Work

 

Yesterday a missionary broadcast from the Marriott Center in Provo was aired for church leaders and interested members. Of course, I was most intent on finding my missionary son who sang in that huge MTC choir but I was also profoundly spiritually fed. I choked up as I looked upon those bright and beautiful young sisters and Elders. To me they seemed to radiate joy, intelligence and faith. God must be so pleased to have such a fine army of young people to teach His children. To all those young people who heard the prophet's call last October and set aside other compelling interests; to all those who, with child-like faith, believe that the Lord will open windows of opportunity to hasten his work, I thank you. Thanks for setting a wonderful example for your parents and for any naysayers who may question as to whether there will be enough work for 72,000 plus missionaries. Thanks for having unwavering faith and eyes to see the vision of the Lord's plan for our day. You've set the standard and now the rest of us will have to catch up and do our part by inviting our non-member friends. I know I felt the Spirit... and today, I called my friend!
