I love JOSH HARRIS!!!!! This is a video of him opening his call. Kenya.... WOW!!!! His mission also includes Tanzania. Josh is the nicest sweetest boy who really loves the gospel. What an Amazing experience of joy to spread the good news that Christ lives and that his church exists on the world today. We are lead by living prophets and apostles just like in the time of the Bible. The truth has been restored. We can literally have a relationship with our Heavenly Father who will guide us through our very individualized personal revelations and answer our prayers. I Love you buddy and am so proud to be your sister!
The churches website( http://www.lds.org ) explians:
When we experience the blessings of gospel living, we naturally want to share those blessings with others. The Lord spoke of the joy that comes into our lives when we share His gospel:
"If it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
"And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!" (D&C 18:15–16).
After His Resurrection, the Lord commanded His disciples to "go . . . and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Matthew 28:19). In fulfillment of this command, able young men in the Church have a duty to prepare spiritually, physically, and emotionally to serve as full-time missionaries. Single women and mature couples also have the opportunity to serve full-time missions.
Missionary work also includes helping and supporting those who join the Church. As instructed by President Gordon B. Hinckley, each new member of the Church needs three things: a friend, a responsibility, and nurturing with "the good word of God" (Moroni 6:4; see also "Converts and Young Men," Ensign, May 1997, 47–50).
