| Summary | "My First Mission" by George Q. Cannon is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work details the author's experiences as a missionary for the Latter-day Saints, focusing on his mission to the Hawaiian Islands, specifically the challenges, successes, and spiritual insights he gained during this time. The narrative provides a personal perspective on the missionary lifestyle, addressing themes of faith, perseverance, and the cultural interactions he encountered. The opening of the book introduces Cannon's early feelings of timidity and nervousness when called to preach. As a young elder, he recounts his resolve to speak publicly despite his fears and shares a profound experience where the Spirit emboldened him during his first significant sermon. He details his journey from San Francisco to Honolulu, overcoming sea sickness, and his determination to learn the language and preach the gospel to the native Hawaiians. The reader is set up to follow Cannon's growth in faith and courage as he navigates the ups and downs of missionary work in a foreign land. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
