23 January 2012 – Called to serve – a letter from Botswana

I think I have written about our friends the Taylors who are on their fourth mission as a couple. They are serving in Botswana and they send out weekly letters about their experiences. This week they shared a number of stories and the one below seemed to kind of sum up how the Lord is in charge of his church and that missionaries are called by a prophet to where their talents are needed.

 

“We also visited with another young woman who is an investigator that will be baptized next Sunday.  She is the sister to a young member who is a deaf mute.  It was interesting talking with Elder Knight, one of our young missionaries. He said that when he was in the 6th grade his teacher taught the class sign language.  He had never used it and didn’t think he ever would, but when he was transferred here his new companion said they had an investigator they were having a hard time teaching because she was a deaf mute.  Elder Knight knew why then he had learned sign language and was able to teach and baptize this young lady and now her sister.  Isn’t it wonderful how the Lord works!

Yes indeed it is wonderful how the Lord works and we need to remember that as we go out and serve in any calling in the Church. Who the Lord calls he qualifies.
