Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf: 'Missionary Work — Sharing What is in Your Heart'

Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Notable quotes:

"I wrestled with the question, ‘How can we, as members and disciples of Christ, best fulfill that great commission [“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19)] in our daily lives?’ Today I invite you to ponder that same question in your heart and mind."

"His gospel and His Church are an important part of your life and of who you are and what you do. Therefore, invite others to come and see and come and help, and God will do His saving work, and they will come and stay."

"As an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bless you with the confidence to be a living testimonial of gospel values, with the courage to always be recognized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with the humility to assist in His work as an expression of your love for Heavenly Father and His children."

Talk summary:

Pondering the Savior’s commission “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost’ (Matthew 28:19), “I wrestled with the question, ‘How can we, as members and disciples of Christ, best fulfill that great commission in our daily lives?’

Five “guilt-free” things anyone can do to participate in the Savior’s great commission to help gather Israel:

“His gospel and His Church are an important part of your life and of who you are and what you do. Therefore, invite others to come and see and come and help, and God will do His saving work, and they will come and stay.”

When sharing, “stand as witnesses” in word and deed, in person and online and in ways that seem natural and normal.

“As an apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ, I bless you with the confidence to be a living testimonial of gospel values, with the courage to always be recognized as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with the humility to assist in His work as an expression of your love for Heavenly Father and His children.”
