NYNYS Mission April 18-20, 1995
So, some more mission stories. I must say. I’m not going to justify my actions. I realize growing up, it took me a while to really clue into life. Once I clued in, I realized I wasn’t naturally born with leadership skills. I’m grateful for these experiences.

How Did I Do Fasting This Week?
When I listened to the Journey to the Veil book, it talks about fasting a lot. Using it to master your body and obedience. I tried to make this m focus this week. As I fasted, did I experience any of the following?
Screaming Evil Spirits
As we continued to walk, I was filled with a pit of complete despair so much so that I felt I could not walk up any further. I stopped. I turned to Ben and Kevin. I said, I can’t go any further, I feel something evil up here. Ben told me he agreed. He had felt something evil as well.

It was difficult for me to see myself ever existing up to or past that time, let alone past that time.
Pastor & Latter-Day Saint Compare Beliefs – Reaction
I absolutely love these videos by Pastor Jeff on Hello Saints. I love what I have learned about other religions, but most of all, they reinforce my faith. As I listen the doctrines are pretty black and white. I commend Pastor Jeff for taking this journey of understanding. Here is […]

Guess what? It’s April fool’s day and no practical jokes were played thank goodness. It did rain thank goodness. I must be out of my mind to say thank goodness.
Fasting – Elder Eyring’s Message
I remember one of the times I fasted for 72 hours. I was so weak by the end I felt as though I could only lay there. I remember my wife had gone on a trip to Spokane to see her sister. We were trying to have children and could not.
Feeling Some Ups and Downs
I have felt the ups and downs of my journey lately. Some days I feel so close, other days so distant. Either way, my desire to walk this path have not wavered.
