Our District Leader, Elder Dyre, gave an AMAZING instruction this past Tuesday at district meeting. He had us open up Preach My Gospel and highlight the so-called "Ten Commandments of Finding." Like all commandments, each of the Ten Commandments of Finding includes a promise. They are:
1. Work effectively, and the Spirit will be with you, protecting you and prompting you (PMG 156).
2. Pray for spiritual sensitivity to recognize opportunities to serve people, and Heavenly Father will put prepared people in your path (PMG 156).
3. Immediately testify of Gospel truths, and you will find more people to teach lessons to because they will have felt the Holy Ghost (p. 159).
4. Ask for referrals from everyone, and you will have many people to teach (p. 159).
5. Address the importance of family, and you will find people to teach (p. 159).
Caption: If we were to come across this family, we could talk to them about how faith in the Savior will help them to have a happy family. We could testify that Heavenly Father wants families to be eternal.
6. Work with members, and more people will be baptized and retained (p. 160).
7. Develop a "How can I help?" attitude with ward members, and they will trust us with their family and friends (p. 161).
8. Strengthen your own faith that God is preparing His children to receive the restored Gospel, and He will put people in your path (p. 167).
9. Serve everyone, and people will recognize us as servants of God and we will have increased opportunities to teach the restored Gospel (p. 168).
10. Pray for opportunities to do good, and we will be led to people being prepared to receive the restored Gospel (p. 168).
