Welcome to podcast episode 192 - Stuff I Wish Every Missionary Knew. On today's episode we'll talk about, as missionaries, there's so much I wish we all knew from the start. In this episode, I'm sharing 8 key insights that can help provide peace, purpose and resilience throughout your mission experience.
First and foremost, your job is simply to show up and share Christ's light. Don't get caught up in numbers or specific outcomes - Jesus is the true miracle, not the baptisms or other measurable results. Remember that God's plan is perfect, and you can't derail it no matter what. Your feelings, even the tough ones like anxiety, are completely normal and okay. Focus on what you're doing well, not your shortcomings.
Planting seeds through your invitations and presence matters, even if you don't see the harvest. And keep your hope anchored in Jesus Christ and God's eternal plan, not just the immediate outcomes you desire. Apply these principles, and watch how your mission experience transforms.
As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did. Until next week my friends.
