Before our farm duties begin, the service missionaries gather together as a group and one person offers a spiritual thought and prayer. We then review the day's assignments.
Today's spiritual thought was delivered by Elder White who brought in a vase of tulips to illustrate his message on sunlight. Elder White described how a tulip needs sunlight to grow to full maturity and blossom into the beautiful flower that it has the potential to become. Our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ are the ultimate sources of light. Because we are His children and are here on this earth, we have a divine light that shines within each of us. We all have tremendous worth and great potential to become more like our Savior.
Elder White explained that as missionaries we have the opportunity to be a ray of sunlight to those who come to volunteer at the farm, and as we go about our every day lives. A kind word to others, or a genuine smile can go a long way to lift someone's heart and bring a little sunshine to their soul. May we all strive to share our sunlight with others and be a shining ray of kindness and love.
