Will Work for Love

In a nutshell, this is what we do as missionaries-- not necessarily panhandle or beg, but work out of appreciation of man rather than for profit or worldly gain.

We dedicate 1.5-2 years of our lives to teach and serve everyone in where we are assigned.  For me, that would be the Korean people covering 2/3 of the Orange County area.  Carrying no more than a hundred pounds of luggage from home, we settle down in the area, restricted to wearing western dignified attire for the given years, and basically proselyte.  I love it and wouldn't have wanted it any other way.

We teach the gospel.  As many already know, "gospel" means "good news."  We teach Jesus' "good news" throughout the area in whatever language we can speak.  The most important of this is of love.

In whatever opportunity we get, tutoring, yardwork, fixing things, teaching English, and even teaching our fundamental beliefs, we do it with love.  We didn't have to come out here to do what we do; we did it because we felt like it was the right thing to do-- it was an exercise of our free will.  Our love for our fellow men knows no bounds.

So if any of you need help in any way, shape, or form, contact you local missionaries or chase one down (they're easy to spot) and ask!  They'll be glad to help!  I'm no exception.  We'll work not for food, nor money, nor fame, nor popularity, nor prestige, nor extravagance, nor pride, nor compulsion, nor physical gain in any form, but we'll work for love.
