Our Service: Save Souls
The Lord emphasized the worth of each man or woman, youth or child when He declared:
“The worth of souls is great in the sight of God. …
“And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
“And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!” (D&C 18:10, 15–16).

I have been struggling with this lately. My own testimony and strength have not been so great, but I love my friends and all the people I know and want for them to find the greatest happiness. We talked in church on Sunday about how so many think that missionary work is 'not for them'. Or that the gospel and all that comes with it is 'not for' their friends. We don't want to be labeled churchy, preachy, prudish or otherwise 'too religious'... but when we know the truth, is it not the best to share it? To be bold and proclaim what we DO know, even if it is not everything?

I lost a relative recently. I didn't have a chance to get to know her. I wonder if she will be there when I make it to the other side... And for those that she belonged to, I pray that she will. I make a picture in my mind's eye of those that have passed, all of them together, happy and waiting for us. Praying for us to make the right choices here. I don't want to let them down. I don't want to lose them, or for them to lose me. We are one big beautiful family! I just want to go home!
