Hastening The Work

As Relief Society President I am responsible for teaching the class now and then.  And I can pick anything that I think the sisters need most to talk about.
So this week I had the lesson all planned.  But while studying about it I felt the Lord wanted me to talk about something else, Missionary Work.  So I found great stories and articles and put the lesson together yesterday, Saturday.
Then this morning I was praying and had a flash of inspiration from the Lord.  He didn't want MY lesson.  He had another lesson in mind.  So I went with it.
I told the sisters that for every 1000 doors that the missionaries knock on, one person is baptized.  That is more or less depending on what part of the world you live in but it is the average. 1 baptism per 1000.
Then I told them that if a member invites their friends or relatives to the member's home, with the missionaries present to give a spiritual thought or lesson, it results in 2 baptisms per 3 people.
1 per 1000 OR
2 per 3
Then I had the three newest members of our Branch stand and tell how they were introduced into the church.
Two had friends introduce them to the missionaries and have the lessons in the member's home.  The third one had a friend who was a missionary teach her.  We counted her 1/2.
The sisters cried as they bore testimonies of the truthfulness of this fact and I also had the member missionaries themselves tell how they did it.
I told them it was easy once you know how.
Our sisters are responsible for feeding our missionaries every night.  They take turns.  I explained that now all they need to do is invite a friend or relative also and the missionaries can take it from there.
Or I pointed out that one of the sisters in the class had a family night where she invited her niece's family and also a friend of her daughter's.  She had the missionaries actually do the family night.  Now both her niece and her daughter's friend are taking missionary lessons!
In our Heavenly Father's plan the members are now to be the finders of prepared people ready to receive the gospel and the missionaries are the teachers of the gospel.
This is the Lord's work. He has a plan to hasten it. We simply need to do it.
