Principles and Doctrines:

Missionaries assist the gathering of Israel. All who accept the gospel of Jesus Christ become part of the special lineage of the house of Israel. It is our job as missionaries to go out and find the members of the house of Israel and introduce them to the principles and doctrine.

Supporting Scriptures:

D&C 29:7-Missionaries are called for a specific purpose by the Lord. That purpose is to bring to pass the gathering of His elect. If we teach them the gospel, they will soften their hearts and hear the words which is the central message of missionaries.

1 NE 22:4, 11-12-The tribes are scattered and lost, also they are lost from the knowledge. To bring the scattered tribes from "darkness", as is says, they have to be made known that Jesus is their Redeemer!

Inspirational Writings:

Elder Russell M. Nelson taught that missionary work is only the beginning of the gathering of Israel. I testify that if we keep the commandments and focus on becoming what the Lord wants us to become, we will receive the blessings of the Abrahmic covenant.
