Donny Osmond and his family came to the Netherlands to share their love of the Gospel in a musical fireside. Donny wanted to share his testimony with the people of the Netherlands where his son is serving his mission. We wanted this to be a meaningful missionary opportunity for the members and the missionaries, and are so appreciative to the Osmond family for bringing their four other children, spouses and three grand children across the ocean to share the joy the Gospel has brought into their lives.
Missionaries were very involved in helping the firesides run smoothly, and making sure that every investigator was able to receive a Book of Mormon with Donny's testimony inside.
President Brubaker gave the future missionary his missionary tag.
Donny and Debbie were so gracious and we felt that all the planning that was involved made for a very successful missionary effort.
The Public Affairs missionaries from Frankfurt, Germany attended the firesides, and will be writing an article to be published in the Liahona.
Firesides were held in Haarlem,
Rotterdam North,
and Utrecht.
Elder Osmond was able to share his testimony at all three firesides. He was excited to have his parents meet Itcha, a new member that he was able to teach while serving in Utrecht.
450 Book of Mormons were given to friends who came with members. We received over 150 positive referrals. We had over 900 people in attendance. We felt so happy and relieved that everything went so smoothly!
There was a beautiful feeling at each fireside as Donny shared his strong testimony of the Book of Mormon and his personal experiences how the Gospel had moulded and shaped his life and has been the most treasured gift in his life.
Members showered the Osmonds with gifts of appreciation for their visit. They were overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, and how so many people in the Netherlands have been influenced by Donny's life.
