“Fake it till you make it” was the theme of a whole zone conference on my mission 3-4 years ago. It was repeatedly taught by the MP, APs, ZLs, DLs, etc.
Is funny you quote elder Holland because it was reading a book he authored on my mission that said “god calls us because of who we are not in spite of it” that made me give up on fake it till you make it. I realized that if it was true god wanted me there then he wanted ME there. Not a carbon copy of someone else. So I focused on bettering who I was instead of changing it. I met many people who I helped because of my unorthodoxy and my life experiences. Not necessarily baptized or reactivated… But helped.
We had missionaries over for dinner Tuesday night. I felt so bad for them. Not because they are away from home or because their families miss them. These two in particular are robots. Saying what they’re told to say, feeling what they’re told to feel, reacting how they’re told to react. The after dinner sermon and challenge is my price for providing a meal.
