The Errand of Angels Page #2

Synopsis: A wide-eyed sister missionary arrives in Austria to begin her 18-month-long mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Despite having to make a few cultural adjustments, Sister Taylor meets every challenge with optimism. Her enthusiasm to share the Gospel makes her indomitable, until she finds herself with an abrasive companion whom she doesn't understand and doesn't particularly like. This challenge, along with the ordinary vicissitudes of missionary life begin to wear on her, and thus in the process of sharing the Gospel, Sister Taylor finds herself gaining a better understanding of its key precepts: faith, repentance, forgiveness, and charity.

We still have to teach her family.

Don't worry.

I will take care of them.

Will I have time to see her?

Sure.

-Hello.

-Hello.

My mom's not here.

I just wanted to wish you

a Merry Christmas.

I'm leaving today for Vienna.

This is for you.

I hope it will always remind you

of your Heavenly Father's love.

Remember, you are very special.

Thank you.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Sonja.

This is so hard.

I know. But Vienna is great.

You're gonna love it.

What about my new companion?

Well, she's nice.

Yeah?

Hi, I'm Sister Taylor.

It's really nice to meet you,

Sister Keller.

I prefer to talk in German.

Sorry.

I didn't know

that you can't speak English.

I can speak English,

but this is not the United States.

We're here to teach the gospel

to the Austrian people

in their language, which is German.

You need to learn German

or you'll sound like an idiot.

Alright?

What did you just say?

That's what I mean.

You need to learn the language.

Wait. Please wait.

What?

Aren't we supposed

to speak to people?

What are you talking about?

Sister Felder says we should...

Listen. I don't care

what Sister Felder says.

We're not making fools of ourselves.

But we're missionaries.

I collect rocks.

What?

I found these all here in Vienna.

Why would you collect rocks?

Can we go jogging in the morning?

Do I look like

"jogging in the morning" to you?

Great.

What was that?

Nothing.

# There is music

in my soul today

# A carol to my King

# And Jesus

listening can hear

Can you turn

this horrible music off?

What?

The music.

Turn it off.

# Oh, there's sunshine,

blessed sunshine

# When the peaceful

happy moments roll...

I said, "Off."

Oh, off. Got it.

# "There Is Sunshine

in My Soul Today"

Sister Keller?

Should we do

our companionship study?

Sister Keller?

Listen. It's probably better

if you study German first

so people can actually understand

what you're saying.

What if we study together

in German?

I already speak German.

Erika is very interested

and already came to church

a couple of times.

But her parents

don't want to meet with us.

We usually meet her here,

where she hangs out

with her friends.

I totally want to go

to America one day.

You should come and visit.

We have a big house.

Wow! It's huge.

My family would love to have you.

You're always welcome.

Really?

Erika, could you read

this scripture with us?

Repent, all ye ends of the earth,

and come unto me

and be baptized in my name,

that ye may be sanctified

by the reception of the Holy Ghost.

What does this scripture

mean to you?

I like it.

Sanctified.

Sounds beautiful.

Erika, will you follow the example

of Jesus Christ and be baptized?
