Excerpts from a letter written by Jim Dallas, my roommate from the previous year at Brigham Young University, who was then serving a mission in Sweden. I quoted parts of his letter in my missionary journal under date of August 20, 1969.
Congratulations on your being part of bringing your wonderful family into the Church. Doubt I’ll ever be privileged to see one that large come in here as Swedes on the whole only have two or three kids per family. But our Heavenly Father has allowed me to be with and teach two fine young men and a Danish family who joined the Church. Isn’t it wonderful to be a missionary!
Elder Dallas and his companion had traveled all over Sweden with a display containing a pictorial explanation of the Church. Their work is directed mostly towards young people and young families by using the MIA. He added:
It was one of the choicest learning experiences of my life to be a guide and street contactor with the display, and now most of our proselyting time is dedicated to looking up and teaching the visitors who left their names and addresses.
