Last Christmas, my brother who is currently serving a mission in Mexico City sent me a copy of "Preparation Precedes Power" by Randy L. Bott. I've always loved reading but church gospel books didn't seem to interest me. On the recommendation that this book helped prepare my brother more than anything for his mission, I decided to give it a try. I want to take the reading seriously so I pick three things out of the book that I can work on every week. I plan on beginning the mission paper process soon so preparing myself for the mission is always on the forefront of my mind. Here are three things that I know will help you keep the spirit throughout the day just like they did for me:
1. Be thankful for everything. Take nothing for granted. Everything you are given is an extra blessing.
2. Become knowledgeable in the gospel. We are our Lord's servants, and as such we need to be prepared to spread the gospel whenever we are asked questions.
3. Let confrontation go; do not retaliate. Be understanding of the confronter, no matter how frustrating the situation is.
