This weekend has been spent with my sisters' families. It is great to be a part of a wonderful extended family. This morning my 14 year old nephew tells me about his experiences in seminary class. He was challenged by his teacher to be friendly to people and so he told me about how he was trying to shake a girl's hand as she left the building, but she tried to avoid him. He thought that she had actually left, but then he saw her, so he ran after her and shook her hand and said "the church is true, God loves you! So are they making the youth of today stronger in the faith, or was I just clueless when I was fourteen?
I am shocked whenever I hear that some people actually believe that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are not christians. Here we have all these missionaries all over the world and each one of them has a nametag which clearly states their name, and then the name Jesus Christ in bold letters right below it. That is a small part of what it means to take upon you the name of Christ.
We truly believe that there is NO OTHER name nor any other way whereby man can be saved, except by Jesus Christ. Really, who could be more christian than a young man or woman who carries on their chest the name of Jesus Christ.
This is a blog about my experiences hosting Elders who are full-time missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also called Mormons.
