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
“There is no greater work than that of missionary work. There is nothing so wonderful—nothing—as tasting the joy and success of missionary labors.”
Legrand Richards, The Joy of Serving a Mission
“If you will respond to the invitation to share your beliefs and feelings about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, a spirit of love and a spirit of courage will be your constant companion, for perfect love casteth out fear.”
L. Tom Perry, Perfect Love Casteth Out Fear, Ensign and Liahona, November 2011
“As you go forth and share our core beliefs and the fruits of our doctrines, misperceptions will dissolve, prejudices will diminish, and people will come to see Latter-day Saints as devout disciples of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Quentin L. Cook, Prophet, Apostles Speak at MTC Mission Presidents' Seminar, June 2012
You will never regret serving a mission, but you most probably will regret not serving if that is your choice
Richard G. Scott, Now is the Time to Serve a Mission, General Conference April 2006
God is preparing people to receive your testimony of restored truth. He requires your faith and then your action to share fearlessly what has become so precious to you and those you love.
Henry B. Eyring, Sharing the Gospel Heart to Heart, Liahona and Ensign, September 2012
Missionaries return home with a love for the people they have served and taught. They are true ambassadors spreading goodwill for the peoples in whose countries they have lived and worked. They are not concerned with income levels and have no racial bias. They are not out to build any worldly kingdoms. They are, in the words of Mormon, ‘the peaceable followers of Christ.
Boyd K. Packer, The Peaceable Followers of Christ, Ensign April 1998
As your circumstances allow, as you are eligible for retirement, and as your health permits, I encourage you to make yourselves available for full-time missionary service. Both husband and wife will have a greater joy as they together serve our Father’s children.
Thomas S. Monson, Welcome to Conference, General Conference October 2012
We encourage you to keep all that is good and true and then see if we can add more. In this world filled with challenges, we do need help from time to time. Religion, eternal truth, and our missionaries are vital parts of that help
Russell M. Nelson, Ask the Missionaries! They Can Help! Liahona and Ensign, November 2012
