Sending two sons on a mission is also a mission in itself. You make a sacrifice in time missing your sons and also in financial means to sustain them there.<BR/><BR/>Your father has always preached the Gospel. <BR/><BR/>To non-members he would converse easily and well about the Church.<BR/><BR/>To missionaries he would always be a willing companion, and take them various places. He would teach with them, and testify to their investigators.<BR/><BR/>To local members he would be a great example of how to live the Gospel, and how to be a willing worker in the Kingdom. <BR/><BR/>To those of us who went on missions from Hull, he sent uplifting, edifying letters on a regular basis, letting us know that we were remembered and loved.<BR/><BR/>Those that serve two years, or eighteen months will never achieve, or sacrifice, what your dad's 40 years of service and sacrifice have achieved.<BR/><BR/>As I said, your dad HAS served a mission. I know that the Saviour, and His Father, know that too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
