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)

Simple Things

Anna and I went to visit a recent convert the other night. He has been a member 42 weeks, according to his count. His living room walls are decked out with framed pictures of him and his two little boys in front of the temple. He had just finished family home evening when we knocked on the door. After a brief visit I walked away telling Anna that those two little boys were sharp, knowing all the answers to "Who was Noah?" "What is the Word of Wisdom?" and "Who brought Jesus back to life?" I asked the boys' father how he teaches them so well and he pulled out the Primary and FHE manuals and said he reviews them and uses them for each lesson. The simple. The tried. The true. The effective.
