Do not overlook your privilege to be missionaries while you are pursuing your formal education. Your example as a Latter-day Saint will be observed, weighed, and ofttimes emulated.
President Thomas S. Monson, Come All Ye Sons Of God Priesthood Session, April 2013
I try to be a continual lay-missionary throughout my days at work, during schoolwork, at home. I know that is what is desired of every Saint.
I pray that we may be aware of the needs of those around us. There are some, particularly among the young, who are tragically involved in drugs, immorality, pornography, and so on. There are those who are lonely, including widows and widowers, who long for the company and concern of others. May we ever be ready to extend to them a helping hand and a loving heart.
President Thomas S. Monson, Until We Meet Again General Conference, April 2013
His beloved Apostles noted well His example. He lived “not to be ministered unto, but to minister”; not to receive, but to give; not to save His life, but to pour it out for others. It has been said, “If they would see the star that should at once direct their feet and influence their destiny, they must look for it—not in the changing skies of outward circumstance, but each in the depth of his own heart and after the pattern provided by the Master.”
Thomas S. Monson, Christ at Bethesda’s Pool General Conference October 1996
