Incentives

 The Elders/Zone Leaders recently decided to give incentives

to missionaries that accomplished set goals.

 

 The Hermana's met their goals...

 

 so they got this showy, glittery, gaudy,

trophy!

 

 Apparently it was even showier, glitterier, and gaudier

before the loving-cup on top was broken off by the Elders
that had the trophy last week.

 

After many poses with the trophy, they decided

they should put up only one finger...

meaning "We're number 1!" 

They were giving the peace sign in the first

picture, and didn't want anyone misinterpreting it

to mean that they thought they were number 2!

 

(They said they thought the trophy was actually something

that was probably being tossed into the garbage by someone.

It is just something fun to keep the missionaries' spirits up.)

 

The real incentives for teaching the gospel truths

are not measured by anything as silly as this trophy.

The real incentive is the satisfaction of knowing they

did something good for somebody else....

which makes them happy, joyful, and gladly!
