To know the history, purpose, and destiny of the Relief Society
Once a senior missionary couple is out in the mission field, they can make their own schedule. The mission president will assign you to a certain area, where you will stay for the duration of your mission. There are no transfers like the younger missionaries. He may also offer suggestions of what you might do […]
Because of COVID-19, the Missionary Training Center (MTC) closed for about a year and a half, like everything else. About two weeks before our departure date, we received word we would be going to Provo, Utah to attend the MTC in person. Senior missionaries who are serving in the continental United States take their cars […]
As far as I know, MLS missionaries have been around for a while, but everyone is still trying to figure out what they do exactly. The answer is we can do anything. We’re superheroes! MLS missionaries will never be told what they will be doing in the mission field before they get there. And if […]
A few days after we received and accepted our call, we got a phone call from some senior missionaries who got us started on the financial aspect of our mission, including health insurance, car insurance, and car registration. To be honest, we didn’t realize the importance of this phone call and had no idea what […]
Ask us how we learned that a missionary application only lasts one year. Right after my husband retired, it took about three months to get our doctor visits in and everything filled out and submitted to the missionary department. Being on the older side, more tests must be run. And some tests you fail, so […]
What is it like to be a Senior Missionary? I can tell you a few things, but it will take me 18 months to give you the full scoop. I invite you to stay with me during this journey as I share the ins and outs of serving a mission for the Lord–even at my […]
We talk about Self-Reliance, but I wonder if there is more to it than we immediately think it is. L. Tom Perry gave a talk, in October 1991, about Self-Reliance where he says, “Independence and self-reliance are critical to our spiritual and temporal growth. Whenever we get into situations which threaten our self-reliance, we will […]
This week, I’m covering the Priesthood session of October 1991. I guess what I learned is in the form of an obvious question: Are we feeling the responsibility as we prepare for the Coming of the Lord? I believe we have been given all the tools necessary to be completely responsible, and fully accountable, for […]
This week, on my General Conference Odyssey, I’m covering the Saturday afternoon session of October 1991. This time, I’ve run across talks about repentance, the trial over the war in heaven, and keeping the Sabbath Day holy. I think my favorite quote is from Elder Neal A. Maxwell: “There is more individuality in those who […]
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the city of Enoch. We don’t know much about this city and how it came to be so righteous that it was lifted off of the earth. But it has been prophesied that a group of righteous Saints will become as righteous as those heavenward Saints and will […]
