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)

Even dead ends have a purpose...

I signed up for an elective that is both time-consuming and sometimes pointless. It takes three hours out of my week. I often daydream during those three hours. However, into the semester I began receiving the prompting to give a Book of Mormon to one of my class-mates in the same elective course. Two weeks ago I gave him a copy and the following week he came up and thanked me for the gift because he has started reading it from the beginning. Moral of the story: If you can't find a purpose in life, do missionary work!!
