Yesterday was Mother's Day, observed both in this land and in America. Appropriate mention was made of the fact in Sunday School. The junior Sunday School sang a special song. President Carter personally presented each mother a rose. It was an impressive meeting.
During the afternoon we taught a first lesson to a man named Wilgilho and his family, always a good way to spend a Sunday afternoon. This family is prepared for the gospel because they already were dissatisfied with the churches of the so-called Christian world, realizing they could be nothing more than the works of men because there was not a church on the earth, as far as they knew, like the one Christ organized or teaching his teachings.
Today, after spending the morning in a book fair downtown, we returned to the mission office to write letters and study and such until time for district meeting. After writing two letters, I started reading The Challenge by President Alvin R. Dyer. That is a fantastic book and in every sense a challenge to every missionary, including myself particularly and foremost.
