Missionary Moments

Even though you won’t serve a full-time mission until you are older, there are things you can do now to be a missionary. Here are some things children like you have done to share the gospel.

The Special Witness article on how to be a missionary (April 2010) helped me be a missionary. I have been telling one of my friends about the gospel. I gave her For the Strength of Youth, the Bible, and the Book of Mormon. She is interested in the Church, and she likes the standards that we follow. I’m glad she felt the Spirit when I taught her.

I took my Book of Mormon to reading time at school. Three of my friends asked if they could read my book. I told them they could all have their own copy. Our teacher is from Turkey, so I gave him a Book of Mormon in Turkish. He said he was happy to have a book to read about God. Now all five of us read silently in class during reading time.
