Missionary

One of the reasons I love Houston so much is because there is so much missionary work to be done. I feel like I am having missionary opportunities almost everyday. It is so great and I love spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ with those around me that are looking for the truth. I wasn't very good at this when I was living in Utah, but I am loving the opportunities that I have here in Texas to share what I believe. 
Eric and I have been going with the sister missionaries in our ward to teach two 19 year old twins that are investigating the church. I had never been to an non-member lesson before so I was super nervous to go. The missionaries taught the lesson and Eric and I were there to share our thoughts with them when we were prompted to do so. I didn't prepare anything to say but whenever I did talk, I knew that was the spirit talking. These boys have a baptism date and Eric and I are so excited to go. It has been so fun to go to lessons and watch them grow in the church. They ask so many questions and are so interested.
Through all of this, I have realized two things. Number 1, my husband was an incredible missionary when he served his mission at the age of 19. He can explain things in a way that I would never be able to. He is so great with these boys in helping them understand things and why we do what we do as members of the church. He fellowships them at church and makes sure that they feel welcome. I am always so impressed with what he has to say and the way he says it. Number 2, we are all missionaries. Even if we didn't serve a full-time mission, we can preach the gospel in our everyday lives. There are people out there that are seeking the truth. We need to remember that every member of the church truly is a missionary!
