I wanted to share this music on YouTube so former missionaries and friends in France could enjoy this music. I love the music and the message, and it reminds me of Christmas, serving in France, listening to this tape. I hope you enjoy it. There are probably some French mistakes. If you want to messageContinueContinue reading “Une soirée musicale”

Pride, ladders, and wheelchairs
My oldest daughter was coming home from serving 18 months as missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Omaha, Nebraska mission a couple weeks ago. We had been counting this day down for a very long time. As an LDS missionary, you only get to write/email home once a weekContinueContinue reading “Pride, ladders, and wheelchairs”
Moving to Port Angeles, WA
Well I better officially announce that in June we are moving to Port Angeles, Washington to be closer to Jen’s parents. FAQ: 1. Why is there a moving van in your driveway? The big moving van is for the declutter move. Jen and I are driving up this weekend and storing a bunch of thingsContinueContinue reading “Moving to Port Angeles, WA”
A temple in France
I recently had the incredible opportunity to go back to France where I served my mission and attend the open house for the Paris Temple. It is now the 156th operating temple. My mission president was Elder Neil L. Andersen who now serves as an apostle, and he took us on a personal tour throughContinueContinue reading “A temple in France”
Hot Wheels
I’ve always loved cars. When I was young I had an impressive Matchbox / Hot Wheels car collection. I liked the Mustangs, Camaros, Cougars, Impalas, Chevelles, Chargers, Challengers, and Bel Airs. I really took good care of them. My family would laugh because at a pretty young age I could tell what the make andContinueContinue reading “Hot Wheels”
Cleave unto charity
While reading 1 Corinthians chapter 13, I was pondering how this scripture seemed to directly apply to those who have doubts about Joseph Smith, the prophets & apostles, the Church, the Book of Mormon, and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Charity is not just about giving to the poor, it is also defined as: lenientContinueContinue reading “Cleave unto charity”
Love One Another
As I have been pondering a bit today driving from Pennsylvania to New Jersey from one meeting to another, I have been thinking about a friend who has been questioning his faith in the gospel, particularly his faith in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or the Mormon faith. We are very goodContinueContinue reading “Love One Another”
Gaining a testimony
I think this is the perfect explanation of how we gain a testimony or gain a spiritual understanding. It doesn’t operate like traditional learning. Brigham Young said about his conversion, “If all the talent, tact, wisdom, and refinement of the world had been sent to me with the Book of Mormon, and had declared, inContinueContinue reading “Gaining a testimony”
I believe in miracles
Xavier had a good appointment with his ophthalmologist this week and it was good news; No need to wear glasses for now! We go back in 5 months for a follow up. He may still need glasses later. Everything else is going really well. He’s under weight but eating pretty well. He starts preschool onContinueContinue reading “I believe in miracles”
Fill ‘er up and check the oil
I worked at the Texaco on 7200 So. and Highland Drive in Salt Lake City I’ve always loved cars. When I was young I had an impressive Matchbox & Hot Wheels car collection. I liked the Mustangs, Camaros, Cougars, Impalas, Chevelles, Chargers, Challengers, and Bel Airs. I really took good care of them. My familyContinueContinue reading “Fill ‘er up and check the oil”
