Have you ever wondered what it would be like to do missionary work Without Purse or Scrip - meaning without food, money, or a place to sleep? Lynn M. Hilton, a Mormon Missionary was asked to do this type of mission in 1947, in the State of Maine. He and his companions were told to take one small suitcase filled with copies of the Book of Mormon, a bar of soap, razor, toothbrush, comb, and other small items. He and his missionary companion, got off the bus and started walking. This day-to-day journal will allow you to travel with Elder Hilton on this mission of faith. Lynn was a B-24 bomber pilot during World War II. Ten days after being released from his army duties, he was called to the New England Mission. During the last four months of his mission, he and all the young male missionaries were asked by Mission President S. Dilworth Young to go out and work without purse or scrip. This books contains: -Stories of Faith from his Mission -How he and his companion were able to find food and lodging without cost -How he was guided by the spirit -His hand-written journal entries -Instructions from his Mission President -Final comments by Church President George Albert Smith
