Me and Joshua Rawlings made this VLOG style video to show what a typical day as a missionary looks like as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Thank you Elders, for your service! I am a convert, baptized 10/20/23. I enjoy studying with the missionaries, and I love my calling at church as Communication Specialist, and our Relief Society. Heavenly Father gives us so much! Safe travels to you, and may The Lord bless you!

Thank you guys so much for your service! I'm nearing missionary age, and I can't wait to go on my own mission! A lot of my older priest friends are getting called on missions and I'm so jealous....
I loved my mission! Thank you for this video it gives the essence of the awesome people we met as missionaries but also some of the tough times like bees stinging us!
I was very confused by your singing of "How firm a foundation" at the end of this video. This hymn was written in 1787 and is saying that the foundation for our faith is the Bible, and we don't need anything else---"What more can He say than to you He hath said?" (a rhetorical question, to which the answer is nothing!) The author of this hymn is saying that God has given us what we everything we need in the Bible to understand our faith. How do you understand this hymn in light of the additional scriptures your church accepts, as well as the possibility of new revelation from modern prophets? Isn't that more that God is saying?
Hey! Thanks for commenting your question. I didn’t know the history behind that hymn, thanks for sharing! In our faith we believe that God will always communicate with his children, and that revelation is ongoing. God calls prophets to teach his children, and we believe that he still calls prophets today. While we love and read from the Bible, we know that there are more sources to learn about God and Jesus Christ. Here are some scriptures we read from that mention the need for prophets and apostles, even some written after Jesus Christ’s death. (Amos 3:7, John 21:25, Ephesians 2:20, Ephesians 4:11-12) Sorry that I can’t answer your question fully, if you’d like to learn more there are local missionaries in your area that would love to talk more with you! www.comeuntochrist.org
@@jlewis8145 Thanks again for sharing! It might surprise you to know that I agree with you! Jesus Christ has already atoned for our sins and we need to accept Him. You’re absolutely correct that Christ has paid the price for each of us. We need to accept Him! A lot of times in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints we put too much emphasis on what we must personally do to accept Christ rather than on emphasizing the great sacrifice that He has already made for us. We are better Christians when we remember and put the emphasis on the Savior. At the same time, Christ himself emphasizes a gospel of action. It is not enough to merely say that we accept Him without showing it. That is why we serve missions. Christ himself commands his disciples at the end of Matthew to “make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.” At the end of John, Christ emphasizes the importance to feed his sheep. He taught sermons on personal conduct and gave commandments of how to live, so that we can feel His atoning grace more in our lives. James famously states that faith without works is dead. If we only focus on faith in Christ without acting like Him, we only have part of His power. By being baptized like He was and following His perfect example, we fulfill his great commission to “Follow Me.” You’re correct, Jesus paid the price for each of us. We need to acknowledge our sin and ask for His forgiveness. But we also need to take personal action to follow Him. I really appreciate your response and your respectful words. Thanks for your question!
@@thediamondprincechristian the missionaries understand! They just want to help you come closer to Christ. If you’re nice and honest they will listen :)
Man, I’m not a Mormon or part of Lds church but in my small town there is a church right across where I live, always wanted to meet a missionary, or a member, I’ve always been curious of the beliefs.
@@dazeddeer7854 well thank you for watching! And thanks for your kindness. If you see a missionary, say hi to them for me. It would make their day I promise!
Missionaries now use phones to keep track of messages, requests, communication, GPS, and more! It's super helpful in being able to plan out the day. Missionaries will use technology in order to share the gospel :)
Thanks for the question! We don't get paid at all for being missionaries. We actually have to pay to serve a mission, I had to save up money before leaving to pay for the living expenses like food and apartments. It's totally worth it :)
Hello!! The best way to learn more about the missionaries is to get in contact with them! Here is the website. Hopefully this helps! Www.Comeuntochrist.org
@@RobertJimenezi great question! Members of the Church usually between 18-28 can serve 2 year proselytizing missions if they have a desire to serve. They meet with their local leaders and have medical interviews and personal interviews to make sure they are mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually able to serve :)
@@graysonhardman1250 there is also doing work as a service missionary as well. I am working as a service missionary with the Temple and Family History Department. I appreciate your video. I had learned about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2002 and was about to be baptized, but life got in the way. It wasn't until 2018 that I was baptized a week after the October General Conference.
We actually don't get paid at all, we pay money in order to be sent all over the world to share something we believe in. I paid $500 monthly to share the gospel with others!
@@aguirrejaimerson This accusation is simply inaccurate and means nothing. As missionaries, we invite others to learn more about God. There is no intent to rule, to oppress, to own or deceive. The invitation is to learn and be more like Christ and all can accept or reject.
@@Petar06x Just so I understand correctly, I volunteer 2 years of my life to help people learn more about Jesus Christ while performing community service and fulfilling Jesus' command in the Bible to "Make disciples of all nations"- and all I'm doing is following Satan?
If you watched the video, what you would see are two young men who devote themselves to Christ and try to share God's word with others. They provide service at a community food bank, give English classes to immigrants, and testify of Jesus. If you are a part of a different religious perspective that's fine, but to write off this missionary service as nothing but "two heretics" is just innaccurate.
@@graysonhardman1250 Correct, you're commiting blasphemy by believing that you can also become a God, how ridiculous does that sound bro :/ That's the reason why sin started in the first place, Satan wanted to become God/Like God. Please repent and quit following this satanic church, it's doing you no good and the true Lord Yahshua can truly set you free of sin, not some false prophet named Joseph Smith
@@graysonhardman1250You don't even believe in the Trinity and you believe God the father gained divinity, being a man at first? That means he's created since he's in creation. Do you believe in the big bang bro? I genuinely am so curious but these beliefs just sound goofy my brother. Please do better and pray for the true God to save you. Your dedication is truly cool to see though, it's sad that it's of a false view on the Lord :/
And they PAY for this! To work for a church that is rich beyond belief 😭 I hope they at least had fun because that's 2 years of their youth... what a waste.

I respect your work, gentlemen. I've spoken with missionaries in the past, and always enjoy their company.
Woot woot! Go Elders!! So proud of you. You are Gods hero’s on earth!!!
Idk much about this religion, nor why this came up on my feed, but it’s definitely interesting, learning about new things is never bad
Thanks for clicking on the vid! I definitely agree

Talking to missionaries is great. Go walk up to the next ones you see. Or look at the church website to get in contact with the ones in your area.
Missionário com todos respeito vocês são tão bonitos ❤ Deus abençoe
If you or your roommate ever want a listening ear or friend reach out anytime! Would love to be here for you!
Much love to you

I thought they never allow phones?

There’s a restriction like school chromebooks
Wait ... Doesn't chocolate contain caffeine?
@@OFallenOne69 we can have caffeine- we avoid coffee, green and black tea :)
Do you guys get payd after you guys teach families
Thanks for the question! We don't get paid at all for being missionaries. We actually have to pay to serve a mission, I had to save up money before leaving to pay for the living expenses like food and apartments. It's totally worth it :)
do they let you keep the money from the videos
@@TheBrettMizer I haven’t made any money from this video, but if I did I’m sure I could keep it.

nothing about helping anyone, LOTS about their vain, inane bandstanding
The first thing we did in this video was community service?
Respectfully, did you watch the video? Community Service was one of the first things that they shared.
hello
Yall just annoy people for a living knocking on our doors
