Pass-Along Cards

So on my mission, one thing we would challenge members to do is to pass out mormon.org cards. We would normally give them a hand full of them, and tell them good luck, we would then go back after a week we would go back and see if they were able to pass them out. Most of the time they hadn't even handed out one, and we didn't understand why that was. Until finally a lady asked us how she was suppose to hand them out, she didn't know how. So we decided to do some role plays, us missionaries would do so many role plays. It gave her the confidence to start handing them out. The next day she went to the mall with her daughters, and she started handing them out, and she was shocked at how easy it was to hand them out, and also who was really interested in receiving them. There were people who looked like they would be interested, but just took the card and shoved it in their pocket and threw it away at the nearest trash can. Then there was this guy who was covered in tattoos and piercings, he took the card, thanked her for it, and actually read it, then told her that he had been looking for a church to go to. It was a great story to hear, and this lady now loves handing out mormon.org cards and was always asking for more!
We never know who will accept the gospel, so we need to invite all. The Lord will help us, and give us the encouragement we need. The Lord will bless us for our efforts! The Church is true, and God does love us all, even when we don't measure up to our full potential, He does forgive us.

The Church Requires too Much of Us

Many have stated that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints requires too much of their members. They state being a member of the church is too hard and not worth it. Let's take a look at what is required of us by the church. "And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul." Deuteronomy 10:12 Just this past April, the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints spoke to the whole world in General Conference. Let's read over some of the requirements which were spoken about in this conference by members of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles: President Nelson: “'Does everyone need to repent?' The answer is yes." "We need to do better and be better." "The Lord needs selfless men who put the welfare of others ahead of their own." "M...

Putting on the "Whole" Armor of God

Lately, I have been thinking of putting on the whole Armor of God. I remember watching a video in seminary where it showed some young men in armor and how some of them decided to remove their armor because it was uncomfortable and they needed a rest from it. When they least expected, they were attacked and those who had kept on their armor were able to defend off the attack. Some of those who had removed their armor weren't quite as lucky.  Today we live in an age of increasing dangers, not only physical dangers but spiritual and mental dangers as well. Let's take a look at the different parts of the Armor of God: Loins: Our loins must be girt about with truth. Why is it our loins that should have truth and not our head? I feel this is because there are so many eternal truths about how we are God's children and how the powers to procreate is an eternal law.  Chest: We must have the breastplate of righteousness. The breastplate is what covers our vital organs, most important...

How hammocking can increase your faith

This past week I asked one of my friends what I should write about, and they told me hammocking. So here is my input on the adventures of hammocking. Hammocking has become quite a popular way to "hang" out with your friends. I have now enjoyed hammocking a couple times now and I am already hooked. But what does hammocking have to do with the gospel, well let me tell you. There are two types of hammocking, first is personal hammocking, this one you do by yourself, usually spent reading a book, enjoying nature or taking a nap. The other is social hammocking, this one is spent with others, you are interacting and getting to know one another. Just like going to church, you are able to learn and grow together. Hammocking helps you to live a more elevated life. You can set up your hammock as high as you want, you can be sitting on the ground, near the top a 100-foot tree or anywhere in between. For some being so high in the air helps them feel closer to God, just like in ancient...
