Observing youth quietly reflecting, wondering, focused deep in thought, receiving further light and truth
Our [first] senior service mission [at Mosida Handcart Trek Site] was a marvelous work and a wonder. One of the fun things was calling hoedowns, watching youth with smiles bigger than the desert moon while dancing during a dusty sunset. One of the lasting things is the missionary relationships we now cherish. One of the most meaningful scenes during our mission was observing youth quietly reflecting, wondering, focused deep in thought, receiving further light and truth as they listened to stories and testimonies about sacrifice and the faithful from one of these missionaries. So, I finish with this invitation. This is the opportunity of service; to see the Gathering of Israel, to feel it, and to help bring it to pass. Jesus said, “For if you have desires to serve, ye are called to the work.” (D&C 4) I invite all of us to seek and accept all such participation in this “marvelous work and a wonder,” the Gathering of Israel on both sides of the veil, in both directions of time, helping this needy world prepare for the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. (Excerpt from post mission Sacrament Meeting talk)
