TWO BRIGHT STARS

We arranged to visit a sister couple to review their Preach My Gospel, and, English training. We are to help the senior missionary with her responsibility to train her new companion. We arrived at a very humble apartment. The surroundings were a fairly poor neighborhood (housing missionaries in lower class, but not destitute, areas places them among the people and protects them from being viewed as rich). We went up a long stairwell to their apartment. They had a small table and a few chairs and mattresses for beds. Very humble. We sat down with these sisters and got a chance to see and feel there countenance. They were beautiful in all ways! Nicely dressed and groomed. Glowing completions. They looked healthy, happy and committed. We were so impressed by their three hours of study: scriptures, Preach My Gospel, and English for the Latino junior companion. We left with a love and appreciation for these wonderful missionaries. From the view of our first impressions, they are like two stars in a very black sky!

  1. Beautiful! I am so impressed that the church is focused on having the Spanish speakers learn English while on their missions. I love reading your updates! Keep up the good work on your mission.
