{9} Attributes of an Effective Missionary

I am currently taking a class about Missionary Preparation. In that class, we had to write a paper to our Stake President outlining six attributes we want to develop to become a more effective missionary. My six attributes were:

  • Charity- we need to love everyone, regardless of their acceptance of our doctrine
  • Patience- trusting in the Lord's timing 
  • In tune with the Holy Ghost- to be able to teach effectively and in harmony with God's will
  • Hardworking- a mission will be hard but we must give everything we have
  • Testimony of the Savior-our entire doctrine is centered around Christ
  • Humility- Let the Lord work through you, and do as he desires. 
I chose these because I believed they would most help someone in a missionary situation, and they are all attributes that I can work on and better in myself

  1. I think these are really great traits that everyone can work on! I especially love that you put Patience as separate trait. Too often we forget how much we really have to wait for thing to work out!
