How Great Will Be Your Joy
Excerpts
Today I am speaking to the many seasoned seniors in the Church who could serve as missionaries. The Lord needs you. …
As I have visited missions around the world, I have seen the remarkable service of our legion of senior missionaries. It is clear they are happy doing “the will of the Lord” and being about “the Lord’s business” [Doctrine and Covenants 64:29]. …
I have called many couples to serve and watched as the Light of Christ has filled their countenances. At their return they have described growing closer to the Lord and closer to one another, feeling the Spirit of the Lord pour down upon them, and knowing they are making a difference. Who would not want that? …
As an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, I ask you to serve as a missionary in the gathering of Israel and perhaps even serve again. …
I also promise that as you serve, you will feel the love of the Lord in your life, you will know Him, He will know you, and “how great shall be your joy” [Doctrine and Covenants 18:15]. Your dedicated service to Jesus Christ will inspire and bless your family, your grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. “Peace, and love [will] be multiplied” [Jude 1:2] in their lives for years to come.
