I know we all have at one time or another wondered what the
heck are we are doing here and what it is we are supposed to be doing. Well I
have come to the conclusion I am here to bring in the strays such as myself, or
inactive members or just people who would have not normally met a Mormon. Our missionaries
do a wonderful job of reaching out to people and teaching them but there are
some parts of our society that are invisible and that is where I come in I am comfortable
in places like this I fit in! They are the people I grew up with or worked with
and even partied with.
What I am going to try and do.
For the longest time I was inactive and just traveled around
the country in my Peterbilt moving people from one coast to the other and into Canada, I rode
my Harley and partied. My philosophy was Work Hard PARTY HARDER and at this I excelled.
I have not changed drastically and people who knew me before will know me now I
am just a kinder and cleaner version of their old buddy. I want to show to my
fellow strays that you can come home and the people of our church want to be
your family and love you, this was the hardest thing for me to understand I
would look at myself and think nope ain’t
no one in their right mind would want anything to do with me. I am here to tell
you I was WRONG when I came to my current ward I was overwhelmed with welcomes
and love, it still took me a little over a year to start going back to church
but I did and you can too.
I do have a testimony that the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter day Saints is true and that the
Lord paved a way for us to return to our Heavenly Father we just have to find
the courage to take that first step come with my Brothers and Sisters and lets
all walk together!!
Enjoyed your blog, look forward to future posts!
