Elder Fisk has arrived

Dear Brother and Sister Fisk,

On 20 March 2018, we welcomed Elder Fisk to the Scotland/Ireland Mission.  He arrived safely from the Missionary Training Center and we are excited to have him in our mission.  I interviewed him and felt his spirit and desire to serve our Heavenly Father.  One of our very best missionaries, Elder Norris, has been assigned to be his trainer.  Together they will serve in the Dublin Zone, and he will attend the Terenure 1st Ward.

I will have the opportunity to meet with Elder Fisk for a personal interview every six weeks.  In addition, your missionary will be writing me a weekly letter of his activities as well as a personal note.   He will also meet regularly with his district and zone leaders where he will be trained with other missionaries.  Therefore, with interviews and our weekly letters, I should be able to help him meet any challenges he may have.

We are grateful for the part you have played in preparing your son to serve in this important work. We would encourage you to write him weekly letters of encouragement. Letters from home provide a powerful sustaining effect on the confidence and morale of our missionaries.

Letters can be sent to his flat or to the office.  His address is –

Apt 11 Grenville, 110/111

Rathgar Road

Rathgar

Ireland

P-Days are Monday.

If you have a concern about your missionary, please feel free to contact us here at the Mission office.  We testify of the truthfulness of this work and are grateful to be a part of it.

Sincerely,

George R Donaldson

PS:  Stirling, Scotland, 1898, David O. McKay: “I was homesick and a little discouraged on this day.  As we were coming back into town, I saw an unfinished dwelling, over the front door of which was a stone on which there was a carving. That was most unusual, so I said to Elder Johnston, ‘I’m going to see what that is.’ I was half way up the gravelled walk when there came to my eyesight a striking motto as follows, carved in stone:  “‘Whate’er Thou Art, Act Well Thy Part.’  I said to myself, or the Spirit within me, you are here as a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ. That afternoon, I accepted the message given to me on that stone, and from that moment we tried to do our part as missionaries in Scotland”
