Lords Team

While writing some of my missionary friends I know that one in particular is having a hard time with the whole "no one is listening so why try...." so, while writing him back I asked him how it is being called of God to serve those people? I answered it for him saying " Amazing I would imagine also wonderful, tiresome, exhausting, challenging but yet rewarding yes? As I kept on writing not knowing really what I was writing I also said " Anything is possible with the Lord on your side, and thats why you and I chose the team we are on, the Lords team, because we know it will be the winning team in the end. why would you choose to be on the team that is going to loose? Thats why he and the other million of missionaries are out there, knocking on door after door, getting ridiculed and teated badly so that they can show the world what team they need to be on. We all need to be on the Lords side, and when we are on that team, you cant help but know that ANYTHING is possible. I think this letter that I wrote to my friend was to help me more than it might help him. I asked Mom if writing letters to missionaries would give me heaven points, but looking at all the letters I have received back, all the testimonies that have been written for me all their promises that this is the true church is good enough for me. Those letters have helped me even if the missionary didn't even know it. Even if I didn't know it. Thats what keeps me on track to get to heaven. So indeed they are all heaven points.
