The Miracle of Young Missionaries

Many months ago our Mission President invited us to attend District Meeting when we able. That has been a true joy to watch these young missionaries struggle through how to handle very difficult situations they are facing with investigators and members. Today was one of those District Meetings when I wish that the parents of these faithful missionaries could be flies on the wall watching their missionary seek and follow the light.

The first part of District Meeting focused on how to use the Book of Mormon with investigators and how to overcome their objections. The thoughts and answers that were shared were not textbook answers from Seminary, Institute or Church classes. They were thoughtful statements of principles learned as they have shared the gospel of Jesus Christ. Likewise, they were pure revelation given to these servants by a loving Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ, through the Holy Ghost.

Each District Meeting they also report on their areas and ask for help with the investigators that last week were great and this week are gone. One of the missionaries explained it best by saying that Satan was setting off bombs in their investigator pool. Again they counseled together and buoyed each other up. Everyone of their parents would have been proud to watch their missionary serve with all of their heart.

One of the draw backs of living so close to our office is that we don't get all of the great photos out in the traffic any more. And we can only use so many pictures from our morning walk. So tonight we are again using borrowed pictures of Cambodia that help share the wonderful beauty and adventure of this country.
