Sisters met
at their assigned Zone spots at 7:00am to find out about next transfer and
announcements. Afterwards we met at
7:30am in the Assembly Hall for Transfer Conference and to say good-bye to our
departing sisters.
Departing
sisters were asked to share their testimonies and share advice they might have
to their sister missionaries. Following are
some things they shared with us.
1. Give your will to Lord and have His heart be your
heart.
2. Work hard,
smile and do your best.
3. When life gets
too hard to stand then kneel. Forget
yourself and go to work. Love God and
love others, our mission is not about us.
4. There is power
in basic fundamentals. Print out ‘’check
your progress’’ and put on face page of your planner. Law of Farm: Whatever you
plant you will sow. You can’t have
investigators if you don’t work hard.
The formula for heartaches is faith in Jesus Christ and His atonement
and repentance.
5. Thank you for
taking care of Chinese people when they visit Temple Square. Your smiles communicate to them that they are
loved and welcomed. Ask yourself: Can Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ count on
you? How will you answer them? Stay busy, stay tired. The Spirit will bless you to overcome
physical problems. When you pray you
show that you have confidence in Heavenly Father. Pray for your imperfect companion and learn
from them. Love them.
6. Alma 17:11 Endure to the end. Heavenly Father called you to this work. When you experience afflictions pray to
Heavenly Father for strength.
7. Do all you can
do and trust in the Lord. Work, Work,
Work, there is no substitute for work. Heavenly
Father’s plan is a Plan of Happiness so be happy.
8. Learn the
language of the Spirit.
9. Be grateful!
10. Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ lives. It is
important to help each other.
11. Jacob 1:5 is
about our divine potential. Don’t have
to worry about anything or fear. You
have a testimony of the Book of Mormon which is the keystone to our religion.
12. 2 Nephi
22:3 Speak by the power of the Holy
Ghost and message will be brought to heart of people. Personal study is time to treasure up word of
Lord and then you have it for Temple Square and can speak by the power of the
Holy Ghost. We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust our sails, said Thomas
S. Monson. We can speak by the power of the Holy Ghost with right attitude and
He will bring our message to the hearts of the people.
13. You don’t have
to spend many hours on what you wear and your appearance, instead work harder
on the language of the heart. Know your
master Jesus Christ and follow His example.
Read 2 Tim 4:2. We are always
missionaries and representatives of Jesus Christ. The Lord can change you if you have a willing
heart.
14. Be a
Christ-like missionary and don’t just do missionary things. Truly represent Jesus Christ. Read 1Nephi 3:7. Be yourself, don’t compare and love your
companion.
15. Rely on the
Lord. Pray with all the energy of your
hear. Work smart and remember your
covenants.
16. No greater joy
than being an instrument of the Lord.
Pray for desire to work hard.
When our Transfer Conference was closed Sister Poulsen
walked to the podium with President Poulsen to announce that they were
celebrating their 43rd anniversary today. She invited all the sisters to find a
wonderful husband like President Poulsen and President Poulsen declared than
when he enters the Celestial Kingdom it will be because Sister Poulsen is
holding his hand.
