Missions

We're all faced with different obstacles that sometimes make serving missions seem difficult. To those who have such thought and feelings: if you don't now have a testimony, you can gain one on a mission. Your girlfriend/boyfriend will be all right. You can learn the scriptures and discussions well enough to be effective. You'll have the courage you need to talk to strangers. You can be obedient. You can do it.

Some of you may be fearful about your ability because to this point in your life you have struggled. Perhaps you've not been academically gifted or socially prominent. I agree that being socially graceful, well educated, experienced in leadership, and able to speak well are useful talents for doing missionary work. But there is something beyond these which can give a missionary his/her real power.
