Clayton M. Christensen, The Power of Everyday Missionaries, p. 7-9

Elder Neil L. Andersen has witnessed, "If you're not a full-time missionary with a missionary badge pinned on your coat, now is the time to paint one on your heart-painted, as Paul said, 'not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.'

...I promise you, as you pray to know with whom to speak, names and faces will come into your mind.  Words to speak will be given in the very moment you need them.  Opportunities will open to you.  Faith will overcome doubt, and the Lord will bless you with your very own miracles." (Ensign, May 2013, 77)
