Welcome to
the Germany Frankfurt Mission!
"We are
thrilled to be able to work with you in the great missionary effort to preach
the gospel to the wonderful people of Germany.
Jesus said, “Wherefore he that preacheth and he that receiveth,
understand one another, and both are edified and rejoice together.” – D& C
50:22. Our calling as missionaries of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is to invite others to come
unto Christ by helping them understand, make and keep sacred covenants.
"Our Father in Heaven knows you personally and
has inspired living prophets to call you to serve in this great mission. The mission is “great” because of the great
people who live within its boundaries and whom the Lord has prepared to receive
His gospel. As you lose yourself in His
service and learn to love the people that you meet, you will be successful in
bringing people to Christ.
"In the
introduction to “Preach My Gospel,” the First Presidency quotes Moses 1:39,
which states the Lord’s work: “This is
my work and my glory to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of
man.” In D& C 11:21, the Lord states
our work: “This is your work, to keep my
commandments, yea with all your might, mind, and strength.” Obedience is not only the first law of the
gospel but is absolutely essential for happiness and success in this great
work.
Your
attitude in the Lord’s work is critical to your success. Attitude is everything. Each of us is in charge of our attitude and
we truly have the ability to choose to be positive. We are teaching people the “Great Plan of
Happiness” and happiness is a choice, and comes only when we keep the
commandments and choose to be happy.
This is an
historic time in the history of the world.
The Lord is “hastening His work” and we have the opportunity to work
closely with the dear members of the church in Germany in this great
effort. It is an honor to serve with
you. Thank you for your worthiness and
willingness to serve. Please know that
we love you and pray for you every day.
