"At the core of our leadership, as a central part of our ministry, should be the burning, driving, unrelenting resolve to go get the lost and bring them back." Elder Tad R. Callister
We studied this talk last night in FHE and this sentence really jumped out at me. Probably that's because it's so opposite of what I do and what my motivations are. I do want to bring back "the lost", but it's not a burning, driving, unrelenting resolve. Unfortunately, if the room were filled with women of the ward, I wouldn't go to those who are wandering, but to my friends with whom I am most comfortable.
I need to really pray to be filled with this desire and resolve, to be filled with charity as Moroni describes it. I need to move outside my comfort zone and reach out to those who are lost. Perhaps the mission will help teach me this.
