Podcast Episode 28: Joy at the Piano (“Come, Ye Children of the Lord”)

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 Street Cleaner

Two days ago, I went to southwest Washington, D.C. to clean out a crawl space.  Because the space had only about 6 feet of clearance above, and I am 6’3″ tall, I had my buddy climb down the steep stairs and toss boxes and other junk up to me. It was then my job to […]

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 […]

Podcast Episode 27: How Facebook Found Oliver Cowdery’s Descendant!

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 […]

Podcast Episode 21: Joy at the Gas Station!

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 […]

Podcast Episode 15: Joy at the Muslim Dinner

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 […]

Podcast Episode 17: Joy with Jackie!

Sometimes member missionary experiences happen when you simply step outside of church in between meetings. That’s what happened with a wonderful young lady named Jackie. I met Jackie as she walked along the sidewalk towards my car one day in between church meetings. Jackie went on to take the lessons and join the Church. Now, […]

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 […]

Podcast Episode 19: Joy with the Dining Room Set Delivery

Sometimes member missionary experiences happen right in the middle of the workday. That’s what happened to me a few days ago when I delivered a  dining room set to a woman in Chevy Chase, Maryland. This was not a coincidence. With the recent passing of her mother, similarity between the dining room sets, and our […]
