As members of the Church, we know that missionary work is important. But for me it's so hard! I hate to feel like I'm forcing my beliefs on someone else. I'm afraid of what might happen if I choose to bring the subject of religion up. But I think if I can get past my fears, amazing things, even miracles might happen. Speaking of the miracle of missionary work, Elder Eyring said this:
"To be part of that miracle, you must not wait until you feel closer to Heavenly Father or until you are sure that you have been purified through the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Pray for the chance to encounter people who sense there could be something better in their lives. Pray to know what you should do to help them. Your prayers will be answered. You will meet people prepared by the Lord. You will find yourself feeling and saying things beyond your past experience. And then in time you will feel yourself drawing closer to your Heavenly Father, and you will feel the cleansing and the forgiveness the Savior promises His faithful witnesses. And you will feel His approval, knowing you have done what He asked of you, because He loves you and trusts you."
Henry B. Eyring, “A Child and a Disciple,” Ensign, May 2003, 29
