Missionary work has changed immensely over the years, but it continues to grow and thrive. It's not easy work, but that's because nothing worth it is easy. Missionaries are people, they are flawed and make mistakes. But they have been blessed and set apart for God's work. So that they could still have trials, but have the power to overcome them. That they are truly "Called to Serve'' the gospel to those with willing hearts. They are always trying and blessing those around them. This oil vial is to remind them that they are there for a divine purpose, to save souls on the earth. They are called because so many people need them and the gospel.
"But remember, the Lord has never required expert, flawless missionary efforts. Instead, “the Lord requireth the heart and a willing mind”…The important thing is that you don’t give up; keep trying to get it right. You will eventually become better, happier, and more authentic. Talking with others about your faith will become normal and natural. In fact, the gospel will be such an essential, precious part of your lives that it would feel unnatural not to talk about it with others. That may not happen immediately—it is a lifelong effort. But it will happen." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf
