Serving the Missionaries

Today I had the unique opportunity to serve lunch to the missionaries. I believe there were about 75 missionaries present at this conference.

I was standing in the serving line serving up lasagna and as each missionary passed they would say, “Thank you!” It really was my pleasure to be there to see this fine group of young men and a few young women serving the Lord, by choice.

After the Elder’s were well fed, they asked us all to come stand at the front of the gym. I was there with 7 other ladies who equally came to serve the missionaries lunch. The Elder’s, as an appreciation for our service, sang ‘Army of Helaman’ all three verses. It wasn’t a choir of professionals but a choir of young men and a few women leaving the comforts of their life to serve the Lord. It was just enough to feel the incredible spirit they each have. I was extremely humbled by this experience today. Words can’t express how grateful I am for the service of missionaries throughout the world.

I came home and told John it was the best service opportunity I have ever had the privilege of doing.

Service really is more for us than for the people we serve. I believe that!
