the Symbolism of the Harvest

"The Lord frequently uses the symbolism of the harvest when talking about missionary work
(John 4:35-36 & D&C 4:4). When Grain, such as wheat is ripe the heads turn white, indicating that they are ready to harvest. In those days, the stalks of grain were cut with a sickle and bound together in bundles, called sheaves. After the grain was cut, the field was often burned to remove the remaining stalks, called stubble.
All of this is a metaphor for the work missionaries do. They harvest those people who are willing to hear the gospel and be obedient in preparation for the burning that will cleans the earth at the Savior's second coming."

I love this because I feel so passionate that I need to go on a mission. Its so important, and even though I'm a women I still can help give salvation to so many spirits searching for the truth.
