Manage episode 151462944 series 1028718
What's the most important trait that contributes to being a successful missionary? According to Matthew, it is "having the ability to have the Holy Ghost with you all the time." After all, you're doing the Lord's work. So, having the Spirit with you is critical to being where he wants you to be. I agree. Matthew served in the Indonesia Jakarta Mission where he discovered some very important attributes of success. Through his experiences before and during his mission, he solidified his commitment to the Lord. Even since returning home in 2014 he has been doing something very special to strengthen his relationships with the people he met on his mission. Can you catch what that is? Enjoy my interview with Matthew.

Oh wait, yeah I do. It's the monkey... on stilts... dressed in slightly more intelligent primate clothes... eating Matthew's bag strap. Thumbs up my friend.[/caption]
