July 4 - 7 was an enriching few days spent with Elder Caussé. He is a member of the First Quorum of the Seventy of the Church, coming from France. We were richly blessed, not only by his instruction but by the outstanding musical abilities of the missionaries. Here are a few principles that were taught:
  • All of the callings in the Church have the same Purpose, which is to invite others to come unto Christ.
  • Our Purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ and then they follow Christ back unto our Heavenly Father.
  • Missionaries, members and the Lord work together so there can be a harvest. (1 Cor. 3:6)
  • The Doctrine of Christ (2 Nephi 31, 3 Nephi 11, 3 Nephi 27) is what we must know and what we must teach.
  • There are many people in Germany being prepared to accept the Gospel. Germany is a sleeping giant to be awakened. There is urgency in this work. Even if the percentage of those who accept the message now is small, a small percentage adds up to thousands of people, so we need to talk to everyone in order to find those who are truly seeking the truth.
  • Our family members are in the hands of the Lord as we go out to serve and they will be blessed an hundredfold for your service. (Mark 10:29-30)
