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 […]

Successful member missionary work is always about the other person. Some people are open minded; some people are closed minded. You cannot control that. Just do your best with the situations that are placed in your pathway and you will always be successful! I experienced that recently on a flight across the country. Enjoy this […]

JOY WITH THE LYFT DRIVER

I flew to Detroit last Tuesday night to attend the Detroit Michigan Temple. The good news is the round-trip airfare from Baltimore was only $77 on Spirit Airlines; the bad news is I had to wait until Wednesday night at 7 PM to actually attend the temple. The World Series I used the Experian […]

The I-66 transfer station is the landfill complex in Fairfax County Virginia. I go there often because of my work in the junk removal business. One of their employees is named Eddie. I often see him when I’m unloading the truck. Our Conversations at the I-66 Transfer Station Eddie knows that I frequently travel. […]

Joy with 23andMe Joy with 23andMe is one of those experiences that came real close to not happening. That’s because she called me at 8 o’clock this morning to confirm her junk removal pick up at 9 AM. I had overlooked it and was planning to go somewhere else. I told her we weren’t […]

JOY IN THE GARAGE…

10 Sep , 2018 member missionary work

The Clue… She mentioned it early on in the conversation, as I was there to help her clean out her garage. I think it came after I asked her how her weekend was. “God was good,” she said. “Church yesterday was outstanding,” (or something like that.) Someone who openly talks about God is sensitive to […]

JOY OUTSIDE THE GROCERY STORE

7 Apr , 2018 follow the spirit,food,hastening the work,inspiration,lds,Love,missionary work,mormon

Sometimes the opportunity is just waiting for you outside of a grocery store and all you have to do is walk up to it. That is what happened this morning when I walked up to the Giant Food grocery store in Derwood, Maryland. Positioned outside the store were three ladies sitting behind a table. It […]

Got joy? I always enjoy seeing the statistical report the Church gives at the April General Conference. I look for the convert baptism number. 2017 Statistical Report This year 233,729 people joined the Church. That is the lowest number of people to join the Church in 30 years! Those who joined received some joy. And […]

IT’S ABOUT THE RECEIVER…

25 Mar , 2018 attitude,follow the spirit,hastening the work,inspiration,joy,Love,missionary work

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

18 Mar , 2018 follow the spirit,hastening the work,inspiration,jesus christ,joy,missionary work,mormon

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 […]
