the missionary seeks justice in foreign lands, offers bread to the needy, builds houses for the orphans, laughs with the poor, meditates with strangers, and preaches love to the loveless
the missionary nurses the children, builds castles out of mud, climbs the fig tree, and sells the fruits for an exchange of a smile
the missionary is truthful, honorable, and capable of expressing clearly the feelings which God has imparted him with
the missionary gives and builds her character by mere contemplation of the sorrows of this world
the missionary is strong and courageous and could kill a lion to save a life, and yet he would grieve for the beast for his heart is pure
the missionary is one who fights valiantly for his friends, for to save a life, he may have to die
a missionary dreams alive of a better outcome for all
”For I am persuaded, that neither death nor sorrow can separate us from the love of the Father”
