時間回到2020年的九月，蒙哥中文分會來了一位外表斯文儒雅內心燃著熊熊熱情樂於分享 神的福音的年輕傳教士—孟長老。
他不畏新冠病毒肆虐奉身傳道事工兩年，在新冠病毒疫苗尚未全面開放注射時，所有離鄉的傳教士們都奉行疾病控制與預防中心的指導方針侷居在宿舍裏學習並尋求 神的指引如何在瘟疫蔓延世代成就祂的事工。這種景況對一般人已經是個艱難的挑戰，更何況是對一個血氣方剛的十八歲男孩。
孟長老在這兩年傳教歲月中，用音樂讚美神，埋首苦讀中文，努力透過每一個機會認識成員，他總是帶著陽光燦爛般的笑容問侯每一位成員，令人驚嘆不已的是，孟長老的中文聽說讀寫樣樣棒！
天下沒有不散的宴席，雖然不捨孟長老的返鄉，但我們知道 神對他還有其他更重要的計劃，獻上我們最誠摯的祝福：孟長老前程似錦！

Back in September 2020, in the Montgomery Chinese Branch, there came a young missionary, Elder Munk, who was savvy and elegant in appearance and who was enthusiastic and willing to share the gospel of God.
He was not afraid of the ravages of the new Corona virus and served for two years. When the new Corona virus vaccine was not fully available, all the missionaries who left their hometowns followed the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They lived in the dormitory to study and seek God and guidance on how to accomplish His ministry during the pandemic. This situation is already a difficult challenge for ordinary people, let alone an 18-year-old boy who is full of vigor and vitality.
During the two years of missionary work, Elder Munk used music to praise God, devoted himself to studying Chinese, and tried to get to know the members through every opportunity. He always greeted each member with a bright smile, which was amazing. What’s more, Elder Munk’s Chinese listening, speaking, reading and writing are excellent!
All good things come to an end. Although we are reluctant to let Elder Munk return home, we know that God has other more important plans for him. We offer our most sincere blessings: Elder Munk, have a bright future!

It was a wonderful little social, and a great opportunity to spend some time with some now old friends. We took some pictures, ate some refreshments, and got to talk for a while. From my perspective, it was really cool to be able to see how wonderful an activity it was for those present; the light in everyone’s smiling eyes was very meaningful to me.
