A note from home- Serving is key!

 Good morning Hermana!

I wanted to share with you a thought about connecting with other Hermanas in your mission – as well as others.  It can be difficult to connect, and President Eyring shared a key.

 

When he was giving a talk about Ammon who protected the flocks of King Lamoni,  after the King was astonished by Ammon’s power the king looked around and Ammon was not there.  He asks his servants where he is "And it came to pass that King Lamoni inquired of his servants saying, where is this man that has such great power?"  "And they said unto him, behold he's feeding thy horses."

 

"Now, when King Lamoni heard that Ammon was preparing his horses and his chariot, he was more astonished because of the faithfulness of Ammon saying, Surely there has not been any servant among all my servants that has been so faithful as this man, for even he doth remember all my commandments to execute them."

 

President Eyring said, "Isn't that odd? He was called to teach the Doctrine of Salvation, but he was in the stables. Don't you think he should have been praying and fasting and polishing his teaching plan? No, he was in the stables. Never, never underestimate the spiritual value of doing temporal things well for those whom you serve." Then President Eyring adds this, "Be their servants and you will love them and they will feel your love, and more important, they will feel God's love."

 

They don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.  Hope this helps with your relationship building!  Find yourself constantly in the stables.  Find yourself serving and caring about these sisters and relationships will blossom now and through eternity!
