The website for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has many great articles by general authorities on the topic of missionary work and preparing for a mission. Here is the list I have made and I try to keep up-to-date. There are many General Conference talks and magazine articles and other website content about missionary work, but in order to keep this list to a reasonable length, I’m primarily only including talks here from prophets and apostles.

    I am looking for a talk by Elder Tad R. Callister titled, “Becoming a Consecrated Missionary.” I think it was written in September of 2007 but I have searched all over and haven’t been able to find it. I am wondering if anyone has a copy of this talk or knows where to find one I would be very grateful. Thanks

    Wish they had ALL talks available on LDS.org or somewhere. You can’t find ANY of the MTC devotional talks or “Being a Consecrated Missionary” anywhere! Just doesn’t make sense, those talks are all great, why hide them from the members?

      we called Church Headquarters and apparently the talk given by Elder Holland was given without notes, so there isn’t a transcript, however, there is a video of it because my son watched it in the Preston England MTC in April 2011….so, if anyone knows how to get a copy of that video…I would be happy to type up the content. I will keep searching.

    I am looking for a talk given at the MTC in Jan 2011 entitled “Feed My Sheep” by Elder Holland. Does anyone have that? Also, I can’t find a copy of the MTC Devotional “Being a Consecrated Missionary” either. Help? anyone?

      Connie Albrechtsen says:

      We called Salt Lake and talked to Elder HOllands secretary and she said that talk was given without a script. I know it is on video, however, because my son watched it when he was at the MTC in Preston England in April. So, if anyone has a copy, that would be great. I do have a copy of Tad Callister’s talk, “Being a Consecrated Missionary” if you want it send me your email address.

      Hey, i’ve been looking for that talk by Elder Holland for a while now. If you know how to rip dvd it would be great if you could do that and upload it onto a free account of mediafire. it gives you 200mb for free. I’d expect the talk would be less than that. If you have any questions my email is: birdman1155@gmail.com Thanks!

        If there is a way I could access this talk by Holland, I would really appreciate it. My daughter entered the MTC in January but just missed Holland’s talk. They did watch it later in the field, but I would love to have the link to the video or a copy of the transcript if possible. My email is kshopper@wasden.com. Thanks!

      I literally left the MTC for my country the morning before that talk, and we watched it in my last training on the mission. It changed my mission and my life. I got home last week, and if I could get a copy of that talk, or the video, or a link, I would SO appreciate it! Thanks! (Elder Holland, Feed My Sheep, Jan 11, 2011)

      I have been looking for Bednar’s talk as well of how to recognize the spirit where he says “stop worrying about it”. It was given at the MTC June 9 2009
      please email at : darjessuis@aol.com
      Thanks!

    Jim Anderson says:

    Part 2 is missiong, part 1 is loaded twice, so the middle section of the three at the Mediafire links above is missing.

    For the earlier Elder Bednar talk (as president of BYU Idaho) go to byui.edu and click on the link for devotionals. There is a whole load of material going back into at least the 80s from there.

  37. Jim Anderson
    Jim Anderson says:

    Found the problem, the middle one was listed first, just out of order, no carp about that, just something that some may miss.
