Tonight a special member fireside was held to excite and inspire the branch members to be more active as member missionaries. Last week we had made convites [invitations] to announce the fireside. They were made in the shape of light bulbs, using the scripture, "Let your light so shine before men . . ." They we effective and attendance was good.
Originally we had planned to show a Tabernacle Choir film, with my giving an introductory talk about the choir, but we were unable to borrow a projector in time from the American embassy. Therefore, we had a filmstrip, in Spanish, about the eternal family unit in the Church. Following this, Elder Richins and Elder Stewart acted out how the members could use the "Blue Books" to explain about the Church to friends and visitors coming into their homes. Elder Richins was in fine style, the members liked him, and that spurred him on to greater heights. If the members were but half as excited and animated as were the missionaries, the fireside was a smashing success. Refreshments, provided by the members, were served while the Blue Books were going like hotcakes.
Here it is June already, meaning another year is running old. The passage of time seems to gather momentum as days pile on days.
