ZL in the MTC
SO. Elder Fisher and I have been called as the new Zone Leaders. What a
responsibility!! I am so excited for the opportunity to love and get to
know our zone, and to welcome in the new missionaries next week, but
leadership is hard! It's hard when you care about people, and you know
what's good for them, but they're not committed to being obedient. We're
counseling and planning to help lift our zone and take them to a higher
level. I know that the Lord wants that, so I have faith he'll help us
out! Teaching in Chinese is going much better. As long as I do my part
on preparing FOR people, not for myself, the Lord is at my side. That is
one skill that I'd suggest the young men develop. Learning the doctrine
of Christ with others in mind, not just yourself. I feel like my
studies were for my own understanding. Which is good! But for missionary
work, you need to learn how to look outwards, and learn how to seek out
the needs of others, and find how the doctrine of Christ meets those
needs. As you do so, the Lord can make more out of you than a natural
human. That's why Joseph Smith was super human! His work wasn't his own,
it was his Father's.
