Well, this is not going to make me look very good in some people’s eyes. But it is what happened. I’m not going to make any excuses. I remember a big focus of my mission being that we felt inspired that if the church was to grow in New York […]
Pastor Jeff Exposed
I watched part of a video by David Alexander who is a semi-recent convert to the LDS faith. He has been very vocal on YouTube about his conversion. I thought his story was interesting.
Ended with the Apostles
I was reading the Pearl of Great Price today and came across two passages that made me reflect upon Pastor Jeff. Not wanting to go to the extreme on him, but rather draw some differences. As I was reading these two verses flew off the page at me in relation to things I have heard Pastor Jeff talk about
Chris Priddis
Who is Chris Priddis? That is my father. I didn’t intend to write about him today, but circumstances seemed to lead to it. I’ll get back to him in a minute.

Wow, rain all day. 12 hours straight. Wow did we get wet. It’s a good thing we didn’t have an appointment today or we wouldn’t have gotten very wet. A member made us some hot chocolate. That was nice of them. Well, that’s about the extent of it all. Transfer calls came and [Elder] and I are together for one more month.
Two interesting things from today
I was at work today and one of my coworkers told me a story about a concert he had gone to the night before. It was Pantera and Lamb of God, two heavy metal bands. He said there came a point in the concert where they asked everyone in the audience to flip the bird. His daughter looked at her dad knowing it was bad, but asking what should I do? I listened to him explain that he told her it wasn’t a big deal and just do what everyone else is doing.
NYNYS Mission June 1-2, 1996
I had a sister missionary at the baptism last night tell me my spanish was better than my companion’s. I guess she hasn’t heard much of it. My Spanish bites. But, It was kind of flattering because my companion doens’t trust my Spanish and wont let me speak.
The Burning Book – A Jewish Latter Day Saint Story
I listened to this video while mowing and edging the lawn today. It was a bit longer than expected so I listened while weeding and going other chores as well.
The Book of Helaman
A review of Pastor Jeff reading the Book of Helaman in the Book of Mormon. I’m going to purposefully skip the highlights, where he gives an outline of the stories he read.
NYNYS Mission May 28-31, 1996
I had been out and around Manhattan all day. When I went back to meet my comp in Time Square an Elder told me a girl, a nanny from Connecticut was looking for me and she was just there. She was now up the street so I ran up the street. I went up the street I saw a little crowd of girls and Lisa, Matt Johnson’s girlfriend was there. She remembered I was in New York and looked for me. Of all the days we ended up in Manhattan on the same day. What a blessing. She was even at my farewell. Wow.
