The other day, I was at my mother’s home in Spanish Fork, Utah. I enjoy playing her piano, and she enjoys hearing me play it. For some reason, I started playing my own arrangement of Come, Ye Children of the Lord. Prior to that day, I had never played that song on the piano. The […]

Joy with the Baseball Cap

Today I saw a man from behind, who was sitting on the steps outside of a 7-Eleven. I thought he was a panhandler, but I was wrong. What caught my attention was the back of his baseball cap. I passed by him, went into the store, came back out, and walked across the parking lot […]

I run a Facebook ad for one dollar a day, offering to give people a free copy of the Book of Mormon in my local area. I’ve run it for about 10 days and 263 people have seen it so far. One of the people who saw it commented that his “…ancestor had translated the […]

Sometimes member missionary experiences happen because you notice someone else’s efforts to spread the good news. That’s what happened when I exited a small gas station market in McLean, Virginia recently. Positioned on top of the sanitizing towel dispenser, which is on the right side of the exiting doorway, were some Spanish religious postcards promoting […]

If you want to be involved in member missionary work, it’s important that you associate with people not of your faith! Attending dinners designed to strengthen mutual understanding and respect between various religious groups is a great place to do that. In my case I was invited to attend the American Muslim Institution dinner in […]

In October 2019, I made a quick trip to Detroit Michigan to visit the Detroit Michigan Temple. To get from the hotel to the temple, I took my first Lyft ride. I’m glad I did! My Lyft driver was named Chantil. She had been driving for Lyft for about five weeks. She was a terrific […]

I was supposed to be on a plane to Utah tonight. For various reasons, I decided to stay home. Around 8 o’clock I was listening to a song performed by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square. I had the thought, “That would be a fun song to play on the piano.” So I walked over […]

Sometimes missionary opportunities are waiting for you right in the middle of the street. Joy at the Intersection is one such example. Read Their Sign I wasn’t surprised to see someone panhandling from the middle of the intersection; what surprised me was the first three words on their sign. They read, “God is Good.” […]
