My witness of a living Apostle of Jesus Christ

I have been blessed in my life to have had some wonderful examples, leaders, and friends. As I have thought today about someone who exemplifies Christlike service, my mission president, now an Apostle, Neil L. Andersen, has been on my mind.

Being Anxiously Engaged

Being Anxiously Engaged in Highland, Utah I loved being a missionary in France. One thing that was great about being a missionary was that we were so involved in the branch or ward. We were a part of activities, in teaching, in reactivation, in family home evenings, in blessing the sick and the afflicted, inContinue reading “Being Anxiously Engaged”
