Two missionaries broke away for 5 minutes at a time to hand out Christmas pass along cards with an Internet address to see the Church's video "He is the Gift." (Christmas.mormon.org)
I don't know which was better....watching them sing....watching people watch them sing or watching the missionaries engage people in conversations and share a card with them.

They are so wonderful! I wish I'd had a choir singing backup while I did street proselytizing!
ReplyDeleteI have handed out cards before on a cold day and had limited success, but those beautiful young people who look so happy and fresh and who sing so beautifully and joyfully really make people want to stop and pay attention. One of the missionaries said they should do that all of the year. I agree.
DeleteHey! I remember that Viking store!
ReplyDeleteThat does sound marvelous! It looked like some of the stores were already closed--or is that metal grate just part of the window décor? Is it still busy once the stores start closing for the evening?
The metal grate is because it was closed for the day/night. This was about 8 p.m. There were still restaurants and cafes and souvenir shops open and quite a few people out. Even when we walk home from the center, there are people going in and out of the street. Yes that is the little Viking Store....did we go in?
DeleteMusic! One of the best parts of Christmas. Bless all of you! L&P
ReplyDeleteIt truly is one of the best parts. Thank you thank you. L&P
DeleteAwesome!!! There couldn't be a better Christmas activity.
ReplyDeleteYes...so true. The missionaries loved it so much they want to do it every week til Christmas. They also thought it would be a great thing to do in July....any time of year actually. "I am a Child of God" and other songs. Wouldn't that be great?
ReplyDeleteSo great!!! Music will immediately bring the spirit they want to convey without having to speak a word. It's brilliant.
