Because I love Him

Something funny happened the other day. I was sitting in a lesson and had a little thought run through my head: "What are you doing here?"
Well, I'm teaching people about Jesus Christ. I'm helping people to understand God's plan for each of His children. I'm hopefully being a good example to others and helping them to feel the Spirit as they are taught.
Again the thought came to me: "Really, Sister Herring. What are you doing here? What are you doing on your mission? Why are you here, hundreds of miles from home, talking to people you've never met, moving around Northern Virginia? What are you doing?"
I thought about it for a few minutes. Then the answer came.
I am doing what I have been called to do. I am on a mission because the Lord needs me here. I am hundreds of miles from home because I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true and that only by following it can we be saved. I talk to people I've never met before because I love my Savior and I love the people here and I know that they are children of a loving Heavenly Father who wants them to receive the truth of His Son and be happy. I am moving around northern Virginia because, through our mission president, God is sending me to these varied places all over Virginia.
"My purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ, by helping them receive the restored Gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end." My purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ.
That is why I am here. That is why I am on a mission. To invite others to "[taste] as I have tasted, and [to see] eye to eye as I have seen." (Alma 36:26)
To do the things that the Lord has commanded.
Because I love Him.
