Beauty

Syd:

Some member sent a picture of your companionship with her daughter.  You look happy and beautiful.  Keep it up.

The ward council met with the sister missionaries in our ward yesterday.  They are wonderful and talented.  The one thing I would tell you that will set you apart from the other missionaries that come and go in an area is your ability to give members achievable goals and then to follow-up in a loving way with the members.  For instance, when I sit in those meetings I really want to jump in an help out but then I leave and go home to my family and we carry on as if nothing was said or done.  If we had a set of sisters that were committed to our success and whom we loved, I'll bet we could scare some missionary work up for them.

I attend a lot of meetings and the best ones are the meetings were I leave with something that I can accomplish and report back on.  Become a master of getting members to do that and you will baptize lots.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to your letter.

Isle of Yew,
