Fire and Steel (11/6/17 part 2)

(In response to a message about missionaries in Germany leading up to WWI discussed in the book, "Fire and Steel", Zach wrote the following:)

That sounds like an awesome book, I really respect missionaries like that. It certainly takes a lot of courage and faith in the Savior to make it through discouraging times as a missionary. This week we watched Meet the Mormons and I had a similar experience. It was the story of the WWII pilot who started the candy drop. They never talked about it but the story so clearly stated the hope that comes with Jesus Christ's and Heavenly Father's plan vs the despair that Satan's plan brings. The little children whom the pilot met said that they were ok because they would have food someday (eternal life) but keep fighting so that they don't lose their freedom. If they lose that everything would be over. It just so clearly brought into my mind the importance of the Savior in our lives and how by Himself He changed all of our lives. In the story the man also got a lot of help and the candy drop spread and eventually brought down the blockade and stopped further war. Likewise Missionaries are needed to spread the good news of the Gospel so that people can come unto Him and partake of this amazing gift.
