The youth had the opportunity to participate in an wonderful activity on Wednesday. They were missionaries for the evening. Jonathan was called to the South Korea mission. They learned how to approach people and teach the gospel. They learned how to have people slam doors in their faces or be crazy rude to them. They learned how to share their testimonies. It was all in good fun and hopefully in a non-threatening atmosphere. When the Bishop asked the youth what they learned, hands shot up. Jonathan answered with the very factual, "Not everyone wants to hear what you have to say." That is very true.
The parents were asked to send care packages to our missionaries. I sent cookies for him to share with his companion, and a new tie for his mission. Most of this kids received candy. I guess their parents thought they would be missing Whoppers. One mom sent her girls a box of toiletries and odd little items like goldfish. That made me smile. All these kids are chomping down on their big box of candy and these girls pull out their Lady Speed Stick. Thank goodness they have a sense of humor!
What a great activity!
