Joy With the Moab Conversation

Joy with the Moab Conversation started out like many of these do – – on a business appointment. We were there to haul away some junk and in the process started a conversation with the customer.

Joy at the Intersection

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.” […]

She often asks me in the middle of a conversation if I’ve “…given out any Articles of Faith cards lately…” The answer is usually “Yes!” Today, however, […]

Successful member missionary work is all about the other person. A recent flight experience I’m calling “It’s about the receiver” illustrates that very well. It’s About the Receiver First of all, I flew from Washington DC to Salt Lake City, Utah recently. As is the case with Frontier Airlines, the flight stopped in Denver. On […]

JOY AT MEDICAL SCHOOL

Remember How a Doctor Does It This is a medical school analogy. Stephen R. Covey would often say, “You never prescribe before you diagnose…” Many times in member missionary work we tend to think of something to share with someone then we try and find someone to share it with. Does that sound familiar? Are […]
