I’m typing this list for myself today and I thought I’d share because I don’t have any happy photos of the kids to show. (School has begun.) This is a list of\u00a098 scripture references about\u00a0being an effective missionary that I have found in my study\u00a0during the past few months. I’ve included\u00a0summaries, personal interpretations, and annotations of these scriptures. You may learn something else from looking up\u00a0the references.<\/p>\n
