A missionary is one sent on a mission -- one sent forth with authority to preach and
administer the sacraments -- one sent to do religious and charitable work among the
needy and outcasts.
My father's mother, Grandmother Hahn, sensed a call to serve as a missionary. She was ready to start a family, and friends impressed upon her the need to raise a dedicated family who might do even more than one missionary could. From her family of twelve there were preachers Will, Fred, and Philip. Martha was a missionary in Mexico and Carrie married a minister. Grandchildren included Mary, Sam, Leland, and Clyde, who all were involved in spreading the good news.
Each of us has a great challenge to follow as they have provided, exceptional leadership and example.
