Feasting upon the word

Few things motivate a missionary like the prospects of a meal. There was many a time when dinner was the highlight of the day — especially on fast Sunday! Even if we occasionally griped about the food, we were certainly thankful it was there!

Food for thought: I learned that we could fast for different amounts of time; we weren't limited to fasting for a full day. If we only had ten minutes to fast before giving a blessing, for example, it could be done. It's the spirit of the fast, not just the going without food.
