Why A Mission: I Will Go And Do...

This scripture that I am about to quote is the only possible response to getting caught up in the logistics of a mission.

Setting: Nephi has been given a monumental task which others have failed to complete, and which seems impossible to accomplish. But he has FAITH! (We're creeping up on faith here in this blog - it's going to come out sooner or later.) He says:

I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them. (1 Ne 3:7)

This is really quite powerful, based on the premise that it is a commandment to go on a mission when you are of a certain age and level of health and financial capacity. More on this later. PL
