Yesterday my mom was in charge of preparing and serving a meal the the missionaries in our area during their zone conference. She spent two days preparing the meal, many sisters in the ward also had a hand in the preparation and donation of food items. I took the kids the to church at the time I thought they would be cleaning up so the kids could run around in the cultural hall (this rain has kept us indoors and everyone was a bit stir crazy), anyway the missionaries had just sat down to eat when we arrived. We stayed anyway. Tatum and Lincoln took little baskets and walked around each table handing out dessert, fruit and/or handy wipes. The missionaries were so gracious and sweet with the kids. At the close of the luncheon the missionaries as a thank-you, stood up and recited "The Standard of Truth" and then sang "We'll Bring the World His Truth", one of my favorite primary songs. It was the best thank-you, it was so powerful and the spirit that filled the room was incredible. I literally brought tears to my eyes.
I think Tatum felt what I was feeling. On the drive home she kept saying that was the best party ever.
“The Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished, and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done” (History of the Church, 4:540).
