Can you talk about the missions of the Church and your participation in them?

The missions of the church are to proclaim the gospel, prefect the saints, redeem the dead and care for the poor and needy. These missions support the overall mission of our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. God assists us in our efforts to complete these missions if we give our whole heart and soul to his work. On one occasion as a missionary, I was retiring with my companion to our apartment for the night as it was near 1000 pm, the time that the mission indicated we should be in our apartment. As we began to leave the area where we typically would meet with people, I felt a need to stop and turn around. In the distance, a few blocks away, there was a porch light on. I was prompted to go to that house even though it was late. We walked to the house and upon arriving, found the front door part way open. After we knocked, a woman came to the door and welcomed us in. She said that her family was waiting for us to come and teach them. Her husband had talked with other missionaries that week who said that someone would come teach them this evening. Heavenly Father heard and answered this family's prayer. Missionary work is a very important part of the missions of the church. So important that Heavenly Father frequently assists those doing this work.
