We Learn to Know The Master Through Service
Mosiah 5:13; For how knoweth a man the master whom he has not served, and who is a strangerunto him, and is far from the thoughts and intents of his heart?Cleansed Through Faithfulness & DiligenceD&C 76:52; That by keeping the commandments they might be washed and cleansed from alltheir sins, and receive the Holy Spirit by the laying on of the hands of him who is ordained andsealed unto this power;
D&C 68:30; ….labor, in all faithfulness; for the idler
shall be had in remembrance before theLord.
We thank you for your diligence and obedience in striving to be a “Preach My Gospel”
missionary. We look forward to a prosperous 2009 and ask that as a companionship you set daily, weekly, monthly and transfer cycle goals for your area that are focused on our funnel to a
standard of excellence. We can do it! It is within reach! May it be said of each of us, “Yes, they have arrived.”

“Send Me”
When our Elder Brother spoke these words, it changed our world forever.
So why, is it “Send Me “ a Gratis Mormons Bok and a Gratis DVD doesn’t have the power to change
just one
person’s life? For just a moment a TV
spot or a testimony shared by a member on the internet
touched the heart of one of Heavenly Father’s children enough for them to respond and make a requestto “Send Me”
more! They felt the Spirit and they wanted more! Gule Sider is checked for additionalinformation. We respond immediately! The skolepakke is shipped within hours of their request. Very eager messengers of the Lord are notified and in a day or so, servants of the Lord ride the bus for onehour and walk 5 kilometers in the cold to arrive at
the door of a 60+ year old man who says “I am a littlebusy now! Can you come back later?” As discouraging as it may be, it still has to be more productive than
just knocking on doors. This was a child of God who reached out for just a second. Statistics say that youmust knock on about 100 doors to find one possibility to teach. Your chances are greatly improved withthose who have shown an interest. Some only wanted the information for a school project, one actually came to church once, several were taught the Restoration, others never opened the door or kept ateaching appointment and some have never been found. From the 22
nd
of October 2008 to the 8
th
of Jan2009 we have received 24 referrals. Not one is near conversion but still each new request is met withhope, anticipation and eagerness
–
and that is how it should be. No one said that it would be easy, or that
success would come without opposition. But sooner or later one of those who said: “Send Me a Gratis
Mormons Bok will find exactly what they hoped they would find
–
a word or a phrase that was written or
spoken “just for me!” –
as if a voice from Heaven was speaking directly to them
–
Spirit to Spirit. When
that happens, we will know that we are truly “Messengers” –
not to change the world but to beinstruments changing one
person’s life –
forever. Alan and Susan Arnesen
