They come into their apartments between 9 and 9:30 pm - sweaty, hungry, tired - ready to rip off the tie, jump into the shower and grab a bowl of cereal.
But that is not what good missionaries do at the end of the day.
They keep that tie on, kneel in prayer and then they pull out planners and area books for a 30 minute planning session. When they endure to the end in doing their duty, and work as hard as they can every minute to bless the lives of the people they are finding and teaching - miracles happen, baptisms take place, and many of their sweet brothers and sisters find themselves on the path to eternal life.
This video clip of one of our new grandsons made me think of your good sons - pressing forward and enduring to the end in their exhausting yet eternally important work

I think that was one of the sweetest videos you have ever posted!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute .. what an adorable little guy. He will do great things in his life, he's able to continue while half asleep! CUTE
ReplyDeleteYup, that looks about right! Reminds me of countless nights in the field - the worst was when I fell asleep for at least 10 minutes during a phone call w/ one of the elders in the zone. I woke up to, "What do you think I should do?" BAH!
