Mothers of Faith

Across a large part of the world today, it’s Mother’s Day.

To each of you dear mothers, we express our sincere gratitude and thanks.

Your precious sons and daughters are safe as they serve here in Belgium and the Netherlands.

We appreciate you for being the kind of mothers you are and doing the things you do.

Thank you for your faith and constant sacrifices.

We know you love, cherish, encourage, respect and inspire each of them.

Like you, we hope and pray for their success and happiness – daily.

We promise to love them, help them, watch over them and treat them as if they were our very own sons and daughters.

We feel as if they are!

We can’t send you your missionary today.

Nor is it likely that you’ll receive real flowers from your missionary son or daughter.

But take a look at our latest mission pictures below.

What we can send you are some pictures of a few of your sons and daughters surrounded by lots of flowers!

We are pleased to report, that they are blooming, just like Keukenhof’s tulip gardens!

It is a sweet honour and privilege to serve side by side with each of them.

We truly work with the greatest young men and women on planet earth.

We know that, and feel that, every single day.

We know too that they love you, so very, very much.

We likewise know that your love is unconditional, unbreakable, and forever.

The love you have for your son or daughter is like nothing else in the world.

You will recall a recent statement by President Russell M. Nelson…

“Our Heavenly Father has reserved many of His most noble spirits—perhaps, I might say, His finest team—for this final phase. Those noble spirits—those finest players, those heroes—are you!”

It is our witness, that each of your sons and daughters are part of “His finest team” here in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Dear Mothers – may the blessings of heaven be poured out upon each of you on this special day as you continue to exercise your faith and watch from afar.
