Crepes on Fast Sunday

The first Sunday of each month is usually a “Fast Sunday”. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we fast for two meals, meaning we do not eat or drink for those two meals. It might be breakfast and lunch on that Sunday for example. We take the money that weContinueContinue reading “Crepes on Fast Sunday”

Hurrah for Israel

I’m a regular listener to the Latter-day Lives podcast. I’ve blogged about it before and I’ve even been a guest before.  I had lunch with the creator and host Shawn Rapier, a dear friend, when he told me out of the blue one day that he was going to start a podcast.  I thought itContinueContinue reading “Hurrah for Israel”

A letter to my children on Father’s Day

I wrote a great blog post Saturday after coming home from the Seattle temple. It was a good one and I was very pleased with what I had written.

The secret about the Book of Mormon

Faire du porte à porte à La Rochelle

En regardant mes photos de ma mission pour l’Église de Jésus-Christ des Saints des Derniers Jours en France, chaque image semble avoir une histoire. J’ai servi de mai 1991 à mai 1993.

Tracting in La Rochelle France

As I look through my pictures from my mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in France, each picture seems to have a story. I served from May 1991 to May 1993.

Notre Dame, Easter and the hope of resurrection

We’ve all received shocking news. Yesterday seeing images of Notre Dame in Paris with flames shooting out of the roof was shocking.
