Last week we
told some about the training we received concerning the principles of
self-reliance while in Johannesburg. At a point in the program, the instructors
videoed an interview they had with each of the missionary couples and provided
them with a copy of it. As we reviewed that interview video, we thought it may
be of interest to others to hear us express our feelings about the work that we
do. Of course, we were restricted by the clock and therefore, were not able to
share but one example of the successes we have had of helping others develop
the ability to become self-reliant. Fortunately, we have had many more and are
grateful for the opportunity to be part of this work.
Lee and Angie - great job! Because our extended family hasn't been close, I have never been able to hear your testimonies. What a great spirit I felt as I listened. Thank you very much for your examples.

P.S. Our Eliot comes home from the Washington DC North Mission on June 25th :)
How I wish every young man and young woman and every retired couple would decide to serve a mission. It is so fulfilling and also so-o-o-o fun.
