“I Can Be a Missionary Too,” Friend, Feb. 2011, 32–33
I Can Be a Missionary Too
Therefore, if ye have desires to serve God ye are called to the work (D&C 4:3).
-
Brett was excited. He had just gotten a letter from his big brother Tony. Tony was a missionary. Before Tony left, Brett promised him that he would do missionary work too.
-
Dear Brett, Did you know that when you serve others, you are doing missionary work? I can’t wait to hear about all the missionary work you are doing. Love, Tony
-
Mom, I want to serve others so I can do missionary work like Tony. What can I do?
-
I know Mrs. Hampton could use some help raking her leaves on Saturday. Would that be a good way to do missionary work?
Yes! Then I could write Tony and tell him all about it.
-
The next Saturday, Brett sat down to write Tony a letter.
Dear Tony, I hope you are having as much fun as I am doing missionary work. We helped Mrs. Hampton today in her yard. She gave us a plate of cookies. Dad asked her if she wanted to come to church with us, and she said yes. Love, Brett
-
Brett folded the paper and stuck the letter and one leaf from Mrs. Hampton’s yard inside an envelope.

I can be a missionary too!
