Life is a Pass-Along Card

As a missionary, we have a few tools to proselyte, or to teach our faith.

One of the things we use are pass-along cards.

We try talking to a lot of different people. Whether that is in the street, somebody's door, or during a lesson, we hand out a TON of pass-along cards.

This may seem like a menial thing. It doesn't seem like anything significant when we are passing them out, but it is.

There is somebody that we are teaching that found a "I'm a Mormon" Pass-along card on the street. She felt inspired and called the number on the back, and we were sent to go teach her. Her life was changed by one, piece of paper.

Something YOU do could be like this.

It doesn't have to be a pass-along card. We live in a world today with plenty of media.

It could be a Facebook post, it could be giving out a Book of Mormon to a friend, it could be a smile and a friendly hug to somebody that needs it. Regardless the way,
One person could be affected by it. You never know who is going see it!

We could have passed out 1 million pass-along cards, but it could be the Million and 1 that makes the difference.

Always remember, it might be something "small and simple" but by "small and simple things are great things brought to pass" (Alma 37:6)

Life is a pass-along card. Somebody is bound to be affected by one :)

Imperfection

None of us are perfect. We are going to make mistakes.

 

That is why our Heavenly Father sent us a Savior, Jesus Christ.

 

We should not get discouraged if we mess up. Rather, look at is as an opportunity to get up again and learn from it.

Never Forget, you are not alone!

I went to two years of college before I came on my mission. My first few semesters weren't difficult for me to adjust, or have fun. I had great roommates, good classes and good friends.

I remember during the summer time, I was going to stay at school and work full time. All my current friends, including my best friend, were leaving for home. I decided to move to a new apartment complex to try something new.

I joined an apartment with all new faces. I was shy, and I felt alone.

I had never felt so empty. I was filled with confusion, and everyday, all I wanted to do was to cry.
I submitted to watching movies in all my free moments.

Then, one day. I was having a low. I decided to pull out my scriptures. I began to read. As I read, I felt an overwhelming sense of gratitude for my Savior, Jesus Christ.

He suffered for me.
He died for me.

Not only did he suffer all the pains of the world, he suffered his own pains. On the night of his suffering in the Garden of Gethsemane, he went through it, completely alone. Not only that, but he was betrayed by one of his dearest friends.

I felt a sense of strength in that moment. I realized, that Christ had already paid the price of my pains. He could lift me up!

He can lift you up. No matter where you are in life. He can help you. He loves you more than you can imagine.
