It sounds like things have changed a lot since then and time has undoubtedly altered memory some. It was interesting to hear his stories. It was slow starting out and he had some rough times. I got tired of his complaining at one point, maybe just my mood. He did talk about his enthusiasm for proselyting and his views as a 20 year old missionary. It was very interesting to hear the inside story of being a Mormon missionary and to see his growth. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
When Craig Harline set off on his two-year Mormon mission to Belgium in the 1970s, he had big dreams of doing miracles, converting the masses, and coming home a hero. What he found instead was a lot of rain and cold, one-sentence conversations with irritated people, and silly squabbles with fellow missionaries. From being kicked -- literally -- out of someone's home to getting into arguments about what God really wanted from Donny Osmond, Harline faced a range of experiences that nothing, including his own missionary training, had prepared him for. He also found a wealth of friendships with fellow Mormons as well as unconverted locals and, along the way, gained insights that would shape the rest of his life. Part religious history, part coming-of-age story, part witty spiritual memoir, this book takes readers beyond the stereotypical white shirts and name tags to reveal just how unpredictable, funny, and poignant the missionary life can be.
