The reason missionaries are important
(Hint: This was listed in the lesson)
Spreading the word of God.
Baptize new converts
Teach the gospel
Mission work is important because...
“It is by definition the most important thing you can do in the world, in time or eternity. For this reason you are engaged in the saving of the human soul. And that is the highest and holiest work in the universe. That is the thing that God Himself said was His work and glory. It is the purpose for which the Savior came to the earth and gave His life and was resurrected to open those possibilities and promises of Eternal Life… You join those ranks! You join the brotherhood and sisterhood and it is as I said by definition, by theology, it is the most important thing you can do.”
