STIMULATOR message for the week of March 28, 1972
Message from President Eugene C. Ludwig, dated March 28, 1972
“He who follows the handbook will baptize weekly.”
Dear Missionaries:
“And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among…thy brethren, and establish my work; yet ye shall be patient in long suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls.” (Alma 17:11) BE STRONG, BE HUMBLE, BE AN EXAMPLE, BE A QUALITY MISSIONARY!
The quality missionary is one who has learned that he makes progress by self examination. How do you rate according to this check list? Be honest with yourself:
- Do you spiritually prepare yourself for your divine calling each day? (Alma 17:9)
- Are you having 6:30 am prayer every morning for the continued success and unity of the New Zealand South Mission?
- Are your thoughts clean and wholesome?
- Can you honestly say you live the Mission Rules?
- Do you stay with your companion at all times?
- Do you love your companion?
- Do you reflect often upon Doctrine and Covenants 38:30 (“…if ye are prepared ye shall not fear…”) ?
- Do you read the missionary handbook every morning?
- Do you constantly review and study your discussions?
- Are your study classes given to a real, purposeful study of the Gospel?
- Do you realize that members give referrals only to those missionaries in whom they have confidence?
- Are you aware of your goals at all times, remembering that ‘no goal leads to no end’?
- Are you a doer, are you working effectively every hour of the day and going the extra mile to bring souls into the kingdom of God?
- Do you write your letter home each week?
- Is your room or flat neat and orderly at all times?
- Is your car kept clean, inside and out, and do you drive defensively and with extreme care at all times?
- Are you happy in your work? Do you smile?
- Do you always have a positive attitude, “I can and I will” ?
Are you a quality missionary? Our faith is in you! Our prayers are for your success and happiness.
Faithfully your companion,
President Eugene C. Ludwig
