JOY WITH THE MISSIONARIES

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 […]

JOY OUTSIDE THE GROCERY STORE

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…

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 […]

IT’S LIKE BUILDING A HOUSE…

An Analogy… It’s like building a house. Except it’s not your house. It’s the Lord’s house. So guess who the general contractor is? Not you. It’s Him. Because it’s His house. And in this case, it’s not really a house, it’s a church. His church–The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The name of […]

Festival of Lights Facebook Post First, the Festival of Lights is a wonderful event. I left this post on Facebook on January 1, 2016. Because the photo was so good I shared it to my 1200 friends on Facebook. Also, no one ever took me up on the offer to go to the Visitors’ Center, […]

Today I found some joy at the Visitors’ Center. A gentleman came to the temple grounds to purchase a used copier the Church was getting rid of. His name is Bonnie. He works with the Evangelical International Mission church. They needed a copier and decided to come pick up ours. Visitors’ Center Quick Stop After […]

You never know what’s going to happen at a loading dock. A church organization recently asked us to remove a vending machine from their cafeteria. Because it was still working, we put it up for sale on Craig’sList. A wonderful guy from a Baptist church in Temple Hills, Maryland contacted us about it. We had […]

I was excited to return to the North Bethesda United Methodist Church today to hear an organ recital from Hector Olivera, an internationally-acclaimed organist. The recital was celebrating the installation of the new Allen Organ at the church. Our ward did a service project for NBUMC four months ago where 30 of us spent a […]
