Before they dedicate themselves
back to their training, they are missionaries
entirely in the service of their fellow men. For two years they accompany
people on their way to God, encourage, give comfort and help in everyday
life. The personal faith provides strength and impetus
for this is not always an easy
task. "He loves me," Elder Fitzgerald sums, in the
video review of the Allgemeine Zeitung, together his relationship with God. "We do not see love, but we feel it," added the young missionary.
When the reporter with Elder Fitzgerald and Elder Blanchard visited an elderly woman from the church, he noticed the good fortune of which the missionaries speak. "The community takes care of its members," said Toth. It was nice to see that the visit of the religious sister brought joy.

Translated via Google Translate with a few edits.
The Video is about 10 minutes long in German. Starts with a quick prayer and then you See Hayden and his companion jogging to start their day.
Love this experience..........
