Spirit of Missionary Work





True Christianity is love in action. There is no better way to manifest love for God than to show an unselfish love for your fellow men. This is the spirit of missionary work.
David O. McKay

School for Eternity







 
Elder Scoville, Elder Parker, Elder Eaves, Elder Stanger, Elder Park Young, Elder Decker
with President and Sister Furniss
Your mission is preparation. It was your school for eternity. You won't forget that, will you? This mission is not just a two-year stretch. This is the time when you cultivate the seeds of godhood so that you can help other people on their way toward exaltation. How small are we who think of the mission as just being a stretch of time, some physical things to do, a little studying to do, some praying. This is the most purposeful thing, perhaps, you have ever done in your life and possibly the most purposeful thing that some of you will ever do. It's up to you to let this be the prelude to your life, to let it be the beginning of a great and glorious life.
— Spencer W. Kimball

That is Why We Were Here

 
 
 
Sister Egbert, Sister Allen, Pres.& Sister Furniss
Elder Allred, Elder Hardcastle, Elder Lee
 
 
Missionary work is a manifestation of our spiritual identity and heritage. We were foreordained in the premortal
existence and born into mortality to fulfill the covenant and promise God made to Abraham. We are here upon the earth at this time to magnify thepriesthood and to preach the gospel. That is who we are, and that is why
we are here--today and always.
Elder  Bednar

There is no other labor in all the world that brings to a human heart, judging from my own personal experience, more joy, peace and serenity than proclaiming the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ."

Infinitely Worth It

Brother and Sister Brunson helped keep our mission
running smoothly as they have faithfully served in the
mission office.
The office now feels empty without them.
The office elders singing a farewell song to the Brunsons. As an expression of gratitute for the Brunson's service, the Samsung Ward gave them traditional Korean HonBoks The Brunson's love to hike and enjoyed hours in the beautiful Korean mountains. Good friends from the Samsung Ward joined them for their final hike in Korea.
Thank you for your service.
We miss you.
"Missionary service is not easy,
but it is infinitely worth it."
M. Russell Ballard

Our Cause is Just

Farewell to Wonderful Elders
Elder Forsyth, Elder Lee, Elder Smith, Elder Barton
with President and Sister Furniss
The battle for our souls is no less important that the battle fought by David. The enemy is no less formidable, the help of Almighty God no farther away. What will our action be? Like David of old, ‘our cause is just.’ We have been placed upon earth not to fail or fall victim to temptation’s snare, but rather to succeed. Our giant, our Goliath, must be conquered.” Thomas S. Monson,

Eternal Consequences

Elder Otterson, Sister Cho, Elder Culver
Elder Eaves and Elder Otterson
Elder Culver and Elder Stanger
Sister Cho and Sister Egbert
You are called to represent the Savior. Your voice to testify becomes the same as His voice, your hands to lift the same as His hands. His work is to bless His Father's spirit children with the opportunity to choose eternal life. So, your calling is to bless lives. Your call has eternal consequences for others and for you. In the world to come, thousands may call your name blessed, even more than the people you serve here. They will be the ancestors and the descendants of those who chose eternal life because of something you said or did, or even what you were. . .You see, there are no small callings to represent the Lord." Henry B. Eyring

The Charter Group

We said good-bye to the missionaries that arrived a week
after Pres. and Sister Furniss came to Daejeon.
We all grew together.
Elder Paxman, Elder Bishoff, Elder Farrell, Pres. Furniss
Sister Kim, Sister Min, Sister Cutler, Sister Furniss
Nothing is so interesting as to be able to watch the change and progress of another. Like a plant, we were tender at first and grew in strength, reached for the light, and tried to bloom where we were planted.
