Preach My Gospel goes everywhere with the missionaries. This personal copy of Predik mijn evangelie belongs to Harry. Brother Harry comes to all of the interviews and Zone Conferences. He is a great example to the missionaries of selfless service. He gives 100 % to the missionary effort. Harry is a member of the Breda Ward and has really caught the vision of missionary work! He lives the life of a missionary each day, and is available to go proselyting, finding, or offers his help in any way that he can each day of the week. Harry studies and learns from his missionary manual everyday. Harry is a great blessing and example to the fortunate missionaries here in Breda who love Harry so much! President Brubaker had the privilege of interviewing the "oldest" missionary. Harry is 80 years old, but has the mind and energy of a young missionary!
President Brubaker and I were excited to spend a day in Ghent, Belgium and then a day in Breda with our Dutch Zone. Elder Christensen and Elder Stringham were so creative today! It was all on friendship.
1-missionaries were in a sword duo-every time the they would hit their swords (bamboo sticks) they would have to tell what they could do to be a better companion.
2. Elder Christensen would throw out a question about the “Friend Ship” and then they would try and hit it with a made up cannon ball.
Example:
How can you show love to your companion?
What can you do to show love to your parents?
How can you support the members of your ward?
Elder Christensen had a great pirate accent! It was really fun, and the missionaries had a good time, and learned practical things to show more love and be more effective missionaries! Then we all went back into the chapel and Elder Stringham gave us each an opportunity to write to someone in the mission, how much we appreciated them. They had paper and envelope with stamps already on them! It was taken very seriously, and they gave us about 20 minutes to write our letters. It was great training!
The next day we were in the Hague. We had the privilege of meeting an investigator from Romania. Doralin has studied many principles from Stephen Covey. He recently learned that Stephen Covey is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and ordered a free Book of Mormon. he chose that the missionaries deliver the Book of Mormon to his door. Doralin loves the Book of Mormon and is sharing the Gospel with his Romanian friends!
Elder Dalpias and Elder LeFevre are teaching him. The Hague is so blessed with great zone leaders that have truly caught the vision of being an example for the other missionaries in their zone. We learned about working together and utilizing each person on the team.
Sister Bennett and Sister Robbins are enjoying their time as companions. They are both blessed with great musical abilities and are working on our traveling missionary Christmas choir. They have so many great ideas, and we are excited to see how this missionary/ward effort goes.
Can you see why we love our missionaries so much?
