The Savior, following his resurrection, met Peter and others on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. He called out to them as they fished and asked them if they had had any success. When they answered, "No," he told them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat. As they drew the nets in, they were full of fish.
Later, the Savior asked Peter, "Lovest thou me more than these?" Peter said he did. Jesus responded, "Feed my sheep."
Today there is a great need for service, as the missionary program moves forward throughout the world and as more people come into the church. In Mongolia, for example, where missionaries have only recently begun their work, there are already 1,300 members and nine branches.
"How do we demonstrate to the Savior our love for him? Wouldn't it be through our obedience and service? It is what we do with the time we have.
"And as time goes on, (I have found) it is the love that we give and the service we render that become so important in our lives."
