A talk given by 13-year-old Camilla in the same sacrament meeting in which Michael reported his mission in the Bountiful Twentieth Ward on Sunday, August 21, 1994. Her talk was printed in the August 29, 1994, Family Journal. Camilla at the time was just about to begin the seventh grade at Mueller Park Junior High School.
We all can be missionaries no matter how old we are. And all the little things that we do can change a person’s life. Here are some things that you can do to help your nonmember friends learn the gospel.
You should study the gospel so you are ready to teach anybody who wants to hear, and be a good friend to your nonmember friends, and help them and invite them over, and take them to any Church activities or meetings, and just be really nice to them, and try to bear your testimony to them, and ask if they want to hear the discussions from the missionaries, and just be a good example, and don't ever give up.
It's really a good feeling when you see your friend get baptized.
In Alma 29:1–2 it says, "O that I were an angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might go forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!
"Yea, I would declare unto every soul, as with the voice of thunder, repentance and the plan of redemption, that they should repent and come unto our God, that there might not be more sorrow upon all the face of the earth."
When my sister [Rachael] goes to college she has some friends, and they ask her about the Church, and two of them already got baptized. She says it is really, really neat when they get baptized.
I hope that we can all be missionaries, and I say this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
