Day 53

“There are few things in life that bring as much joy as the joy that comes from assisting another to improve his or her life. That joy is increased when those efforts help someone understand the teachings of the Savior and that person decides to obey them, is converted, and joins His Church. There follows great happiness as that new convert is strengthened during the transition to a new life, is solidly grounded in truth, and obtains all of the ordinances of the temple with the promise of all the blessings of eternal life” (in Conference Report, Oct. 1997, 45–46; or Ensign, Nov. 1997, 35).

How can keeping this statement in mind help us remember the purpose of missionary work?
