I want to share an amazing spiritual thought. A man, Brent Brown, owner of the Toyota dealership in Orem Utah, told his story at the MTC where he was preparing to serve a Senior Mission. He said, and I paraphrase as this is all second-hand — I was doing really well. My first marriage hadContinue reading “Mission Journals”

Ministering
We’ve had an amazing week of miracles, and we’ve experienced righteous counsel and ministry. It all started in Relief Society. We were all discussing our personal challenges when Dorothy (non-Member) shared how her new landlord just raised her rent for a shared bedroom from 500 a month to 600 a month. She had one weekContinue reading “Ministering”
Gospel Light
We had a great baptism last Sunday. Olumba Somtochukwu was baptized! He is from Nigeria and has lived here for 5 years. Everyone in the branch stayed to celebrate his baptism. He has a great testimony of prayer. His eyes are closed here so I think he must be praying:-) For Zone conference we wentContinue reading “Gospel Light”
Mission Life
We take time to celebrate! Steve had his 65th last month and we went to Ayia Napa to get into the water. It was warm and wonderful! The Mediterranean Sea is saltier than the Pacific and more buoyant! We bobbed in the waves for a good hour every morning and evening. It was great toContinue reading “Mission Life”
Tough Questions
Recently we sat in on a lesson with the missionaries. Our friend surprised us by asking a question in a mix of Arabic and English that I interpreted as – “How is it fair that some people are born blind?” OR, the more common question – “Why do bad things happen to good people?” TheContinue reading “Tough Questions”
To Live, and How!

Without any other constraints on my time, the load feels lighter and I feel an attitude shift in me. Now, I am taking the time to listen to peopleContinue reading “To Live, and How!”

Bulgaria is combined with Northern Macedonia to form the Bulgaria Sofia Mission, and Cyprus and Greece remain together to form the new Greece Athens Mission. Compared to our previous mission in Costa Rica West where there wereContinue reading “Greece Athens Mission”
Fellow Saints
We have been in Cyprus now for over 133 days! Time is fast by the week, and slow by the hour, but the one constant is these young missionaries. They are friendly, optimistic and joyful. They attract people to the Gospel message through their youth, beauty and excitement! Our young missionaries are truly the bestContinue reading “Fellow Saints”
Goodwill
As Church History missionaries we wanted to tell everyone in the mission what our mission purpose is. So we offered to speak in every branch in Cyprus and train their Branch Councils on the Unit History Tool. In the first two months we spoke at 4 of the 5 Branches on Cyprus. Larnaca Cyprus BranchContinue reading “Goodwill”
Records
Missionary life involves teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many times Senior missionaries are asked to give lessons that encourage disciples of Christ to do certain things, things like keep a journal, get more education, and prepare wisely for the future. I love journaling and as Senior Church History missionaries we are tasked with collectingContinue reading “Records”
