My Top 10 Keys to Mission Success

1. Personally come unto Christ in every way.  Your doing so will be an example to others and strengthen your ability to invite them to do so.

2. Let "Our Purpose" motivate everything you do.  Internalize it.  Let it truly become YOUR purpose and be a driving force.  3 Nephi 11

3. Be exactly obedient.  Not 90%, but 100%.  Humble yourself and submit to every rule, big or small.

4. Always strive for companionship unity.  Love your current companion fully.  Serve him. Really get to know him. Build Zion together.  It will affect every phase of the work.  Be naked! (Fully open with each other)

5. Work with and through the members. Don't, however, view them as tools.  Seek to develop lifelong friendships with them.  Truly become friends.

6. Use the Book of Mormon!  The more you use it, the more success you’ll have.  It has been prepared by the Lord to find and convert the honest seekers of truth (yourself included).

7. Talk to everyone!

8. Have effective personal & companionship studies. Study PMG and BOM daily.  This is huge in preparing to teach as well as for personal conversion.

9. Focus on the positive.

10. Develop and be fueled by charity. Love the people, the mission, and the Lord.
