We came back to the house for a little dessert. Our dear friend, Tracy and Ben's 2nd Mom( his friend Brett's) brought us a cake and I made some eclair cake too.
Our ward's missionaries stopped by-- which made it fun, because they enjoyed telling Ben what he is in for starting tomorrow.
Ben’s missionary setting apart – July 10, 2012
Grandpa Allen: Keep the rules, When you are discouraged pray
and be cheerful
Grandma Elaine: Love the people and the culture
Grandpa Bob: Work hard and have confidence in your ability.
Pray and be very quiet to listen for answers
Grandma Lynne: Be the best example at all times People will
watch you
Don’t forget to write home
Mom: Immerse yourself
in the scriptures, they contain the answers you seek
When you open the scriptures you will have the Holy
Ghost.
Remember the Forgotten Man – the picture on Pres. Nielsen’s
wall.
You will find
someone like him/her
in Portugal and teach
him the gospel truths.
Dad: Love the people,
and food. Remember why you are
there. Remember you are a covenant son
Trust in the
Lord
Pres Nielsen: There’s
a famine in the land not for food, but for truth. Love your companion do not have
Contention. Have
unity
Love the people: They
don’t care what you know until they know that you care
Blessed with gift of tongues, interpretation of
tongues. To be able to understand. To learn language more quickly and become
fluent.
Blessed to see mighty miracles and to affect the lives of
countless people.
Keep the commandments and the mission rules, perfectly and with
exactness.
Bestowed a blessing of protection upon you. Also blessed great blessings on your family
while you are away.
Remember to pray daily for the power of discernment.
When you return – gift of leadership and helping the youth
of the church.
You will return with greater confidence and will be able to look others in the eye with a firm testimony
