I am dearly sorry that I could not write to you for years, I have been on a ship going to the Hawaiian Islands to spread the Christian religion with the Hawaiians. The missionaries and I were also ecstatic to learn how to speak Hawaiian. Once we arrived, we did not know if we could stay, we had to seek permission from Liholiho to stay on the islands and to teach the Hawaiians. After several days Liholiho and the chiefs were finished talking it over and He said that we could stay for only one year

Bob and Sherry Hollopeter, they are now retired missionaries. The Hollopeters were active missionaries in Russia from 1992 to 2007. Bob and Sherry Hollopeter first got involved in Mission work through their church.

Missionary Kid There are always challenging and unusual events in our personal lives that actually helped you grow. Being a missionary kid is not a usual event in my life.

Sure it help the tribes who are unfamiliar with the new discoveries brought from the missionaries, but they already have a set lifestyle, religion, family orientation, teaching, and many more things that shaped the tribes, so taking all that away and forcing them to go to a new religion is wrong in a lot of ways.

Several Sunday mornings ago, a local church had a missionary as a guest speaker, and his speech appealed to the congregation through his incorporation of ethos, logos, and pathos.
