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)

Domino's

A few weeks into this semester, after finally remembering to pray for missionary moments daily and actually think about through out the day, I recognized someone in one of my classes. He had been in the class the entire time but I never saw him till then, a guy I knew from basketball at the rec center. Had a feeling I could at least introduce him somehow to the church. That Sunday they announced and started stake basketball. It was all perfect timing to introduce him to the church and hes going to come play in a game with the team soon. It was amazing that the pieces had been there the entire time but it took me pushing over the first domino and realizing an opportunity for anything to actually happen.
