Serg Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Well, you must know your self to the extent of recognizing your gifts. If you feel you are prepared to preach, and from your prayers the Word is "YES", then you should, for it brings a lot of satisfaction, not only because of the "intelectual" effort, but rather because of the Spirit and blessings that come to that life listening to you and yourself also... I believe in any member who wants to express his/her knowledge of Christ's salvation, yet if you dont understand all, dont worry, just ask, ask, ask. And do it (the preaching) with all the heart you have, knowing that your preaching is just a mere bridge for God to touch her, and is not the "Touch"it self, you are a servant of God.

Ray Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 If I understand you correctly, it seems as if you are mainly interested in trying to find someone who the missionaries might be able to teach, or in other words, someone who would be willing to have the missionaries try to teach them, or in other words, someone who would be willing to hear the missionaries share what they know about the gospel. To do that, I suggest that you talk to people to find out if they would be willing to hear the missionaries share what they know about the gospel, or in other words, talk to people about the gospel and see if they might be interested in hearing what the missionaries have to say, or in other words, talk to people about what you know about the gospel and see if they are willing to hear more from the missionaries, as the missionaries share what they know about the gospel. And to do that, I suggest that you simply talk more about yourself and everything that is involved in your life, which would include your knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But I would also suggest that you don’t do all of the talking, because if you give other people an opportunity to talk as you talk to them, you will more easily be able to find out if they are even the least little bit interested in anything you have to say. And Joe, the less you know, the more you will be able to say that the missionaries could probably share more about those things you don't know, and it might also help to say that you want to talk to the missionaries to find out some more about those things while asking if your friends will come with you.

Outshined Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 Hey Mojo, this may be off-topic, but do I understand that you are talking about a ward in Charleston WV? I visit family there every so often and my wife and I have discussed attending a ward there when we are in. We just didn't know any LDS members in the area. PS: My brother is a Sgt in the State Police in Charleston; I'll put in a good word for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
