“To all of you who serve, and especially to the over 4,000
young service missionaries, we love you! If teaching missionaries are the
Lord’s mouth, then service missionaries are the Lord’s hands. Each of you is
vital to the gathering of Israel. President Nelson taught ‘anytime we do
anything that helps anyone to make and keep their covenants with God, we are
helping to gather Israel.’ You service missionaries gather Israel in so many
ways, and your service changes lives. Often you don’t know who the beneficiary
of your service is, but God knows. Always remember that inasmuch as ye serve
one of the least of these, ye serve Him. We hear your voices as you volunteer
at Church call centers; we see your smiles as you help in community
organizations; and we feel your light as you serve in temples. You feed the
hungry, clothe the naked, and give drink to the thirsty.” – Elder James E.
