jj0258 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 I just got assigned my Farewell Topic and it is - How am I using the gospel blueprint (the plan of salvation) to prepare myself for a mission? I just started working on it today and have run into a bit of a block... Does anyone have some good ideas that I could use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skippy740 Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Idea #1: - You left the comfort of your Father & Heavenly Home to come to earth. - You are leaving the comfort of your parents to go to those whom you will teach. Idea #2: - In the Council in Heaven, you chose to follow your Heavenly Father's plan. - You have chosen on your own to follow the Prophet's council that all able and worthy young men are to serve a mission. Idea #3: - You have been given scriptures to help you to learn the commandments and to follow the path that God has laid out for you. - You will be given additional information and instruction for your new calling as a missionary. (White handbook, etc.) Idea #4: - Relate how any previous callings have helped you to prepare for your missionary service: quorum leadership, home teaching, seminary, etc. Idea #5: - Heavenly Father won't send unqualified messengers for his Gospel. He will fill your mind and your heart with the things you should say. Idea #6: - You were given the Gift of the Holy Ghost as a constant companion. - You will be given another companion that won't be quite as nice to you. :) There are many parallels to missionary service and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Just look for those and how you can draw out your own preparations and experiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
