Purpose of Blog


In December of 2007, Elder Ballard said to the graduates of BYU-Hawaii:
"Today we have a modern equivalent of the printing press in the Internet and all that it means. The Internet allows everyone to be a publisher, to have their voice heard, and it is revolutionizing society. This modern equivalent of the printing press is not reserved only for the elite. The audiences for these and other New Media tools may often be small, but the cumulative effect of thousands of such stories can be great. The combined effort is certainly worth the outcome if but a few are influenced by your words of faith and love of God and His son Jesus Christ. Do not be afraid to share with others your story, your experiences as a follower of the Lord, Jesus Christ. We all have interesting stories that have influenced our identity. Sharing those stories is a non-threatening way to talk to others."
Post your experiences as a missionary and let your light so shine, for "who can glory too much in the Lord?" (Alma 26: 16)

A night with the Elders

Tonight Anna and I went out with the Elders. We visited some member families. By the end of the night me and Anna were marveling at the optimism amongst the members of the ward as they spontaneously shared their testimonies of the Gospel and its role in their lives. Our first visit took us to some recent converts. The husband's mother, after four years of searching, has finally decided to be baptized! We left them in good spirits and then visited another recent convert and his three kids. This good man has been a member almost one year now and continues to bear testimony of how the Gospel has changed his life. We learned much from him tonight, especially watching his happy kids. He lives and leads a life of logic, love and empathy.
