Dropped in YOUR Pathway-The Conversion of Michael Seay is a great podcast to listen to. He just might be the best member missionary in the Church. He is certainly one of the most loving people on the planet. I believe that gift of loving others is the key to his success as a member missionary-and […]

The members of the Church needed a ride to the airport. He was their Uber driver. They invited him to their home, he met the missionaries, and read the Book of Mormon. He went to the visitors’ center in Washington DC, told his wife about it, and then joined the Church. With his strong testimony, […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]

You never know when a Good Samaritan opportunity is going to surface… I pulled into the McDonald’s parking lot just a few blocks from my home a couple of days ago. I was there at about 8 AM to pick up Butch, my work buddy. A Good Samaritan Opportunity As I passed in front of […]

As I have these various and continuous missionary experiences over the years, I often call my mother to tell her about it. She follows my stories with joy. 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, […]
I received a text from our local full-time missionaries yesterday. They needed someone to visit a family with them last night. The family is from India. They joined the Church about one year ago. Watching the full-time missionaries teach people the gospel is very interesting. They ask a lot of commitment-type questions. They use their […]

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 […]
