Lesson 6: Christ Like Missionaries

For each Christlike attribute answer the corresponding two questions. Try your best to answer the first question by defining a missionary with that attribute, and answer the second question by listing examples. If you can, back up the example with an example from the scriptures.

What is a Faithful Missionary? What shows a faithful missionary?

What is a Hopeful Missionary? What shows a hopeful missionary?

I'll answer this one as an example. A hopeful missionary is a missionary who is excited before each appointment and would say to himself, “I wonder what answers did Heavenly Father give to my investigator this time?”, rather than “Oh, he probably hasn't read the scriptures we gave him, we'll be reading Alma 32 again.” or “There's no way he would change his lifestyle and be baptized.” A hopeful missionary is a missionary who is always optimistic because he has faith in the Lord and the work he does.

What is a Charitable and Loving missionary? What shows a charitable and Loving missionary?

What is a Virtuous missionary? What shows a virtuous missionary?

What is a Knowledgeable missionary? What shows a knowledgeable missionary?

What is a Patient missionary? What shows a patient missionary?

What is a Humble missionary? What shows a humble missionary?

What is a Diligent missionary? What shows a diligent missionary?

What is an Obedient missionary? What shows an obedient missionary?

You need to be a Christlike missionary, not just do missionary things. (PMG p.123)

What is the difference between being a Christlike missionary and a missionary that just do missionary things?
