Missionary Work! To bless the Nations! (starting right here in North Phoenix!) RS Lesson August 1, 2010


Click on the pages below for a full-screen view of the lesson.
There is more in the outline that we didn't get to in the time we had in class.

And click below on each talk's link to read very inspired insights into missionary work and service (also referenced in the lesson). Please study this at home and prayerfully put it into practice and faith-driven action! Remember the promise of our Stake President at Stake Conference and again in Relief Society on Sunday... "as we do these things the windows of heaven will pour out upon our Stake."

We didn't have time to get to this, but here is a list of questions to ask yourself and to practice within your families or with a friend or just to go over in your mind yourself and/or write down... thought provoking practical questions to get yourself more in tune with being ready to share the gospel...

If you have a question about contact info for a member of a presidency in an auxiliary or any questions about activities & resources, or want to let us know of friends who will be coming to church or to a church activity, we would LOVE to be contacted and help support and serve.
