Missionary Work

We come out on missions and work hard- so hard it hurts. We put our hearts on the line and give all of our love to these people we are serving to help them see the truth. Too many times our hearts get broken. People we care about go back to bad habits and throw the bond we have made with them aside. Yet, we keep doing it. We keep getting our hearts broken, not because we are lifeless robots, but because we know that one day one of these people will accept the truth of the gospel and of Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ. In that day our joy is full and all of the heartbreak and sorrow and days that seem endless are all worth it. For "we have been made instruments in the hands of God to... be the means of saving some soul"(Alma 26:3,30). This is why we do missionary work. Because we have the key to eternal happiness and joy and we want to see the children of God- our brothers and sisters in the Kingdom of our God.
