The Name of Jesus Christ
Thank you Sister Tonga and Sister Indiana for bringing the name of Jesus Christ into our home.
Should I Serve a Mission
I spent some time writing a letter to my daughter about serving a mission. It was long. She may not read all of it. But I felt it was important for me to say these things. It stems from the question, are you serving a mission for the right reasons?
Jesus Said Follow Me
Matthew 4:19
Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
A missionary considering going home
While on Reddit, I saw a post by a missionary currently serving who was questioning his faith and the church. It was sad. You could sense the doubt and subsequent turmoil he was experiencing seeking answers to his faith.
I would like to comment on this, not just for him but for all who question their faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
NYNYS Mission July 19-23, 1996
At this time, I was in Sunnyside / Woodside Queens. I talk about the airplanes making their approach to LaGuardia over Queens. I mentioned the trains in Brooklyn. My first area in East New York, our chapel was an old gas station converted into the equivalent of a storefront church. The train would pass by and it would be so loud they would need to pause sacrament meeting. That on top of the adjustable microphone that made loud screeching noises each time it was adjusted or moved. And every person who talked needed to adjust the mic.
