When I met my husband I was open to the mormon religion but was still living my life very unsteady. Smoking and drinking was an everyday for me. As we got our first appartment we learned we bad 2 sister missionaries from his church li ing right behind us. They took thier time with me every single day for over an hour everyday and slowly swayed me into living a righteous life. Shortly after that my husband and I were married and he baptized me as a member of the church. We now are expecting our 3rd baby boy this month and I can say with my heart that the sister missionaries who took their precious time with me when I was once stubborn and hard headed. Changed my life. They were right where they needed to me at the perfect time!
Tremendous testimony! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints truly is Jesus Christ's only true and living church, with its ordinances and opportunities being the only way whereby we can come to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ (Elder Holland YA Devotional January 2023).
What many people don't know about mormon missionaries is that they not only spread their doctrine but actively engage in humanitarian aid. If all privileged kids had compulsory humanitarian aid work after school this world would be a better, more modest place. Well done LDS church.
@@trevorj2370 the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is commanded by Christ himself to preach the gospel onto every creature in all the world, but they are free to accept or reject
This stubborn Baptist took all of six months and nine missionaries to finally agree to be baptized Sep 18, 2021. I couldn't be more joyful about the decision. After my decision made in faith GOD has granted me so much logical understanding of the church and the Temples.
You're just beginning to the joys of the gospel, the many things about the Old Testament accounts that seems vague will become clearer as you study more of all the scriptures provided and connect all the dots, then, it will made sense, in a bigger picture.
I had been planning to serve a mission as soon as I turn nineteen, but a couple months ago I was trying to know for sure if this is really the time for me to go. I had prayed about it, but still wasn't sure. Then I saw this video. I was almost to the end when the Spirit hit me like a freight train. I know that this is time for me to go. My papers are in, and I'm waiting for my call. I'm so excited! This is the happiest time of my life because I'm preparing to do what the Lord intends me to do. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true, and I am so grateful for my Savior!
The harvest is truly great, but few are the laborer's, the Lord truly needs your dedication and devotion to his great work. Gathering Israel is a huge undertaking, we want more souls on the Lord's side, not on Satan's Kingdom where they will be tortured without rest. It's because of love, really it is....
I entered this institution a few decades ago when I was 19. The curriculum was great. I am still thankful to the Church that provided me such a great opportunity and experience to serve as a missionary of the Lord. I can still remember the spirit, smell of those buildings and sacred air there.
You know, people give Mormons a lot of crap. But I have to say that every Mormon I ever interacted with was polite, respectful and rather pleasant to talk to.
I’m a Protestants but I really proud looking my brother from LDS church dedicated their life for the missions for the name of CHRIST. Great job and may GOD bless you all.
I love the Missionaries they have saved my life my family. Forever grateful for their services. Elder McDonald and Elder Michaelis and many more..I'm a missionary forever
what an inspiring video! I served a mission 39 years ago and walked the halls of the MTC after being converted at 16, started my mission at 19. In just 30 days my son will be at the MTC to begin his own mission. What a great legacy to share with him as he begins his service to the Lord. I will miss him terribly, but I know this is the right thing to do.
I love missionaries! They were the tool Heavenly Father used to find me when I prayed to know which church I should join after much preparation by study and eventual prayer. That was 32 years ago. I have never had a day of inactivity or doubt. I have so much gratitude in my heart for what the missionaries do to share the gospel and for teaching me about the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
I had a Mormon friend in high school and I did some Mormon routine like pray at dinner or go to church dance even though I’m not a Mormon and my friend never shove it in my face . He just treated me like another friend.
Am going to serve my mission this year but am so excited to interact with more people of my faith and especially the same purpose... When i saw this video i really felt the spirit and just one tear fell out of my eyes(i wasn't crying my eyes were just sweaty)i really now know that i want to serve the Lord and gather Israel 🙏😌😊
The MTC was among the most memorable parts of my mission that I'll always cherish the most. It's just amazing how my zone and I all entered as strangers on day one, and left as family three weeks later into our respective missions.
Two years after being Baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which was 42 years ago this month (May 1980) I walked to the mailbox and found a gray envelope containing a letter signed by then President Spencer W. Kimball, "Calling me to Serve the People of Northern California for 2 years. About 6 weeks later I entered the MTC (Missionary Training Center) to learn how to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people that I would meet in the Sacramento area. The things I learned at the MTC and during the next 2 years have blessed my life daily.
I'm so grateful for the organization of this church it makes me who I am to day, I greatly appreciate it every moment of it thank you so much for your time and effort to put all this together thank you so much.
What do you think of the style of the new mtc class rooms. It looks too modern and kinda looses that old church looking feel to it. Maybe that’s just me. Going there in a month for a mission.
I was 20 years old in 1975, when I got baptized in Southern California. A year later I went on a mission, in 1976. When I was at the MTC from September- November 1976 it was a brand new facility and was dedicated when I was there in October 1976. Almost all of the general authorities were there with President Kimball. After that I was sent to Germany. I had some fond memories of that time. I am now 66 years old. I am still active, along with my wife, but our 2 daughters are inactive. How I long for those promising young years.
Wow, you suggested this and I was grateful since my grandson just started there last week. He is learning Mandarin. Was happy to see where he is..thanks.
Awesome! Nearly 25 years later (September 23rd 1992), I remember the wonderful experiences I had as a missionary at the MTC. My time at that remarkable place remains among the most memorable of my life's events.
My experience in the MTC in 2001 was so servery traumatic. I just finished my first year at Ricks and then I reported to the MTC in August of 2001. This video makes the MTC look friendly, casual, bright, and welcoming. All I remember was the following. 12 hours per day for 3 - 4 weeks, in one single dark class room doing only one task; silently memorizing word for word each Discussion. Then after a few weeks of literal torture, 9/11 happened. I was so stressed out because they wouldn't tell us much and they told us not to talk about it. One day I was so exhausted from the Memorizing assignment and from worrying about NYC, I just couldn't take it and I bolted. I was planning on coming back to the Classroom, I simply needed to vent. I took a walk and fell to my knees on the Exercise Field. I just laid there for a few minutes and before I knew it I had fallen asleep on the Grass. I was so exhausted I couldn't keep my eyes open. I woke up with four cops kicking me to wake up. They told me I was Trespassing and they were informed that a Missionary bolted. They cuffed me, and they took me to the Hospital for evaluation. That was it. My MTC Mission President didn't follow up when I was at the Hospital. The Hospital cleared me and the MTC simply called my Folks to come up from SoCal to pick me up and take me home. This was Sep 12 and all flights were grounded. They were worried and upset. My Mom and Dad drove up because it was the only option, they couldn't simply jet up and they were worried. I was out on the Street for about 24 hours because I didn't even have my Wallet on me. The MTC nor did my Mission President help me find a place to sleep that night. And that was the duration of my Mission. They wouldn't let me come back. I served only about 4 weeks. The MTC will always be a rotten place for me.
I'm member of the church last year I found myself I had struggles with my faith but I'm still as member of the church. As single guy I'm feel good but sometimes is hard to understand when all people in church try to tell me that I'm not the right member because I'm still single. We have a particular situation in Latin American countries when you are single guy. I'm a good boy but last year was hard to me my Mom has cancer and I was seek also at the same time. So during that period of time I was thinking about my time as a young missionary I really loved that time If you ask myself about where my testimony is coming from ? I can tell you that testimony was building when I was a missionary I miss all friends, companions, leaders, etc. I think life is good but the real life show us that most important things are related to spiritual stuff but is hard when people in church judge me for my single condition status. I love all the memories of the mission at the end if there's something which inspire me I can tell you is the time when I preached the gospel.
This is incredible. Interesting. I love the life of a missionary. Their lives are discipline and they want to please God. Their spirit glows. I would love to be like them.
You don’t need to be full-time or set apart to be a missionary!! We can all serve as missionaries in our everyday words and actions. We are all able to be part of gathering Israel! :)
Just got my mission call to the Sweden Stockholm mission and am going to spend 6 weeks at the Provo MTC. Super excited and can’t wait to be around other missionaries
As a perspective missionary i felt it right down deep in my heart that Jesus Christ loves each and everyone of us just like as we are aliken to him . And we all are to witness he's great love and guidance right here in serving him and bringing his children unto him.
Hoy mi hija empezo su capacitacion en MTC Provo. Yo he estado cerca de el solo como visitante, pero al ver el video y saber que mi hija estara ahi para preperarse a servir como representante de Jesucristo me llena de emocion y lagrimas ruedan de mis ojos por la gratitud que siento por esa bendicion. Gracias a todos los que ayudaran a mi hija en este lugar consagrado...
What a wonderful beautiful video. Some of the MTC is familiar to me. Much is new. I pray the day may come when my wife and I can go there as missionaries. Till then, may the Lord bless me to be a missionary here.
Woah 😍 Provo Missionary Training Center is so beautiful and amazing abd also it so big. Just wow i wish that when I'm going to a missionary training center is to provo missionary training center. Now I'm waiting for my mission call. And I'm so excited 😍
Absolutely awesome great and amazing video. I never went to a mission but i converted. Greetings from a Swede 🇸🇪 who used to live in northern part of Utah
I am going to serve my mission this year, i was called to the Provo Utah mission, which wasnt at all were i thought i would go, but i am read to serve the lord no matter were it may be. There is a reason for everything, just put your faith in God and start walking. I am so excited for the MTC and being around so many people with the same purpose.
I was in one of the first missionary groups to go through what was then called the Language Training Mission (LTM) in the winter of 1977. After two months of language and spiritual immersion 12 of us left on a Pan Am jet to our mission which was the Costa Rica-San Jose Mission which in those days included the countries of Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras. I was privileged to serve in all of the countries except Panama during my two year mission. I still think of those days almost every day even now.
I'm sorry but you DON'T have to serve a mission to get a temple recommend, to serve as a bishop, or even to serve as prophet of the church. I avoided missionary service in favor of going to college. I have a full temple recommend, a full temple marriage and I serve in the bishopric. Missions are okay for SOME people, but for others, it's not required nor should it be pushed on members at all.
I really wanted to be a missionary when I grow up. I also wanted to be more closer to the church. I also wanted to have a harmonic relationship with other people around the world. As a latter day saint, I wanted to bring the world His truth. Even when theres a lot of trials to face, I still believe that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will guide me every single day...
I’ve spent quite a bit of time with missionaries from this church. I’m always impressed with how wholesome, sincere and kind they are. At the same time though, I’m saddened with their beliefs, ie: God has a wife, God is not spirit but a human being, we can all become God , Jesus was in New York etc...
Thank you so much for this video 🙏 I live in Philippines, my son lives in Provo and will be entering the MTC in a couple weeks. We will be there the day before to see him off and we do thank the Lord for His mercies 🙏 I was really hoping to see the MTC and you have blessed me with this video. Thank you to all the missionaries for faithfully answering the Lords call to service 🙏🫡
Changing the world - one child of God at a time. Thank you, elders and sisters, for being willing to do the work of gathering Israel in these latter days! I've never served a mission myself, but how blessed that I am to be associated in such a small way with such stalwart examples :-)
What an inspiring place to prepare to teach people of all lands and nations! Go forward in faith. The Lord is on your side. His plan is in place. The field is white and wide.
Being a missionary is a great responsibility! A missionary must have great energy, fortitude, and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, no matter what part of the world he is in, he must spread the Word. Locals must understand what the missionary is telling them. The missionary must get the Word right! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is on a mission or preparing for one, I would like to recommend a very good workshop written by Yury Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes: Practical tips for learning foreign language. This wonderful book will give you answers how to properly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book provides answers to many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. I wish you good luck in your important work!
Thank you. I'm one of Jehovah's witnesses and i Love the brothers and sisters from the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. You really look the same as Jehovah's witnesses. We both serve our heavenly father. Agape Brs+Srs
there are many mormons here in the Philippines before. but now it's a bit of a mormon I'll see now, my family my grandma,granpa are also a mormon member before, and i'm also a kid when we came a mormon and I still remember american people visit my birthday. and they carry me as their baby hahaha. What a beautiful memories with them and now I'm 18 years old when i have chance I want now to be part of the mormon again and with my family. 😄
The language curriculum is unparalleled. The new buildings are beautiful. The gym facilities look amazing. Despite the murals it still looks like a corporate campus now. The MTC doesn't prepare you for some of the missionary housing in the field. One place I lived as a missionary in South America was absolute squalor . We had to walk through chicken poop to get to the bathroom. My mission president couldn't have cared less when I described the conditions. I brought home a particularly virulent foot fungus that I have never successfully been cured of.
Shawna Jensen Johnson Yes. Military personnel get so much credit and respect from the public for serving, their service can involve killing and fighting. Missionaries share a message of peace. I don’t get why Americans don’t afford them the same admiration. They and The Church are the best export from America (all be it The Church is a global church not an American church).
I love the missionaries without them I would of never heard the gospel in a small town in Kansas some 12 years ago God bless all you if any of you come to Greeley Colorado I'll be waiting for you
I pray one day that you wake up and realise that your part of a corrupt false form of Christianity. Which questions the word of god our Heavenly Father.
Great film. I work with youth in South Central Los Angeles. I would like to be able to use this video as part of a Sunday Aaronic priesthood lessons to encourage plans for serving missions. I am hesitant to do so because there is a dramatic lack of people in the film who look like the youth I work with. I understand that we are all God's children and it shouldn't matter but I am talking about people who already feel their minority status in American life and will interpret going on a mission, as shown in this film, as something for members of European ancestry only. In the future when such films are produced can you please be more aware of this and use a diverse group of on camera people so as to have a more inclusive effect for viewers. Thanks. Verlin Richins, Inglewood California Stake.
I love missionaries and I really appreciate their efforts to share the Gospel in different country & language, May God always be with you. I really miss my missionary friend, Sister Anjum and Sister Akhram, you’ll always be in my heart forever. - Sister Anna of sta.mesa ward
I'm always interested in knowing other faiths, and I'm happy I saw this little bit. I was hearing "empty sea" all the time, good to know it means something else hehe, makes more sense!
Such good memories in this magnificent building... never had experience before the spirit of knowledge and truth that abides there.. always keep those memories in my heart (Nov 2005 - Jan 2006)
December 2007 - January 2008 4 weeks during Christmas and New year with wonderful missionaries. How much I thankful God for this special spiritual experience in my life ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow this new buidling is amazing! It is really exciting to get to know it but it was even more fulfilling to feel the Spirit thru these young men and women's enthusiasm to serve others. After coming back from a mission over 20 years ago and having just been set apart for another a couple days ago, it was really exciting to watch this video. Thanks for sharing it!
I've always wanted to see what the inside of a mormon church looks like. I only went into one once just to warm up for a few minutes cause it was freezing outside, but I was too afraid to explore cause I was afraid I would be kicked out.
Eydis no I promise you, being a present Mormon you would never be kicked out, we encourage people to come and listen and look around we would never kick any one out no race no gender or belief, every sign outside our building says visitors welcome!!

I was in the MTC for 12 weeks back in 2007. This video brought back so many memories for me!
I missed those times that mormons missionaries was teaches us about the gospel in my poor community in the Philippines.
God bless to all Missionaries

Amazing, my dad and my husband are both converts. Keep the Faith. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO PEACE.
Lovely memories of teaching here in the '70s; so much amazing progress has been made on the campus. ❤️

The MTC was the best month of my life without question. I absolutely loved the spirit that was felt there it was like no other time in my life.
Awesome! Nearly 25 years later (September 23rd 1992), I remember the wonderful experiences I had as a missionary at the MTC. My time at that remarkable place remains among the most memorable of my life's events.
So good to hear.
I was there in February 1979. What a difference the MTC is now. I never regret my time as a missionary.
Same here. Miss the food, too!
So you never read the new testament then..
The 2 year service would be better spent going to school

How different was it?
The two years of my life I will never forget. They were so precious !
I have such respect for the missionaries, and I am proud of them. I am not LDS, but am considering it. God Bless the missionaries!

God bless you and may we all stand for the success of the kingdom of our father.
Currently preparing to serve my mission! I am very overwhelmed but proceeding with faith!
I know you won't see this till missions end but hope it went well and the word of God was spread forth
I went to the Manila MTC... It was a great experience meeting new people and getting ready to teach the gospel to others.
Wonderful! I'm so blessed to know that Jesus Christ is our Savior!
What a wonderful beautiful video. Some of the MTC is familiar to me. Much is new. I pray the day may come when my wife and I can go there as missionaries. Till then, may the Lord bless me to be a missionary here.
Woah 😍 Provo Missionary Training Center is so beautiful and amazing abd also it so big. Just wow i wish that when I'm going to a missionary training center is to provo missionary training center. Now I'm waiting for my mission call. And I'm so excited 😍
Absolutely awesome great and amazing video. I never went to a mission but i converted. Greetings from a Swede 🇸🇪
who used to live in northern part of Utah
I remember the time I spent in the MTC many years ago ... it was a wonderful experience.
I am going to serve my mission this year, i was called to the Provo Utah mission, which wasnt at all were i thought i would go, but i am read to serve the lord no matter were it may be. There is a reason for everything, just put your faith in God and start walking. I am so excited for the MTC and being around so many people with the same purpose.
I hope I continue to meet more elder missionaries for me it's a blessing
Saved by them ♥
This video is wonderful ♥
They're amazing !!
I was in one of the first missionary groups to go through what was then called the Language Training Mission (LTM) in the winter of 1977. After two months of language and spiritual immersion 12 of us left on a Pan Am jet to our mission which was the Costa Rica-San Jose Mission which in those days included the countries of Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Honduras. I was privileged to serve in all of the countries except Panama during my two year mission. I still think of those days almost every day even now.
That is cool
I'm sorry but you DON'T have to serve a mission to get a temple recommend, to serve as a bishop, or even to serve as prophet of the church. I avoided missionary service in favor of going to college. I have a full temple recommend, a full temple marriage and I serve in the bishopric. Missions are okay for SOME people, but for others, it's not required nor should it be pushed on members at all.
I really wanted to be a missionary when I grow up. I also wanted to be more closer to the church. I also wanted to have a harmonic relationship with other people around the world. As a latter day saint, I wanted to bring the world His truth. Even when theres a lot of trials to face, I still believe that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ will guide me every single day...
I’ve spent quite a bit of time with missionaries from this church. I’m always impressed with how wholesome, sincere and kind they are. At the same time though, I’m saddened with their beliefs, ie: God has a wife, God is not spirit but a human being, we can all become God , Jesus was in New York etc...
Thank you so much for this video 🙏 I live in Philippines, my son lives in Provo and will be entering the MTC in a couple weeks. We will be there the day before to see him off and we do thank the Lord for His mercies 🙏 I was really hoping to see the MTC and you have blessed me with this video. Thank you to all the missionaries for faithfully answering the Lords call to service 🙏🫡
I wish we could end our missions at the MTC too! I loved it there!
I was at the missionary training center in Bogotá, South America 😆 1995. I want to serve on another mission, next time with my wife 😁
Changing the world - one child of God at a time. Thank you, elders and sisters, for being willing to do the work of gathering Israel in these latter days! I've never served a mission myself, but how blessed that I am to be associated in such a small way with such stalwart examples :-)
I hope I will be in this place soon, currently preparing myself. I got chills watching this
Wow, I can’t believe how strong I felt the spirit while watching this video.
Very cool to remember what it was like to teach the gospel 24/7. Well done.
What an inspiring place to prepare to teach people of all lands and nations!
Go forward in faith.
The Lord is on your side.
His plan is in place.
The field is white and wide.
Being a missionary is a great responsibility! A missionary must have great energy, fortitude, and courage. Wherever the missionary goes, no matter what part of the world he is in, he must spread the Word. Locals must understand what the missionary is telling them. The missionary must get the Word right! Therefore, every missionary must know the language of the local people! To everyone who is on a mission or preparing for one, I would like to recommend a very good workshop written by Yury Ivantsiv Polyglot Notes: Practical tips for learning foreign language. This wonderful book will give you answers how to properly learn a foreign language with a minimum of your time and effort. This book provides answers to many of the questions that everyone faces when learning a language. I wish you good luck in your important work!
Thank you. I'm one of Jehovah's witnesses and i Love the brothers and sisters from the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. You really look the same as Jehovah's witnesses. We both serve our heavenly father.

there are many mormons here in the Philippines before. but now it's a bit of a mormon I'll see now, my family my grandma,granpa are also a mormon member before, and i'm also a kid when we came a mormon and I still remember american people visit my birthday. and they carry me as their baby hahaha. What a beautiful memories with them and now I'm 18 years old when i have chance I want now to be part of the mormon again and with my family. 😄
This is so special, it's a touching video.♥️
I am from Mexico I am a LDS member and a happy mother of a future missionary ... and I feel happy
The language curriculum is unparalleled. The new buildings are beautiful. The gym facilities look amazing. Despite the murals it still looks like a corporate campus now. The MTC doesn't prepare you for some of the missionary housing in the field. One place I lived as a missionary in South America was absolute squalor . We had to walk through chicken poop to get to the bathroom. My mission president couldn't have cared less when I described the conditions. I brought home a particularly virulent foot fungus that I have never successfully been cured of.
oh my heart! made me reminisce my mtc experience...i missed it sooooo bad😍😭
It is lovely seeing all those flags. how precious are the Lord's missionaries.
True warrior's going out helping this world to come to know and remember our Savior.
agreed
Shawna Jensen Johnson Yes. Military personnel get so much credit and respect from the public for serving, their service can involve killing and fighting. Missionaries share a message of peace. I don’t get why Americans don’t afford them the same admiration. They and The Church are the best export from America (all be it The Church is a global church not an American church).
God's Army¡¡Thank you for spreading the gospel to all man kind.
My brother reports to the MTC on August 20th Good luck bro ❤️
where can u find this "Army of Helaman" audio?? It's really nice 😍😭
That is so awesome what a wonderful blessing this is to go out and preach the gospel
AWESOME VIDEO,bring me so many memories,so wonderful
I love the missionaries without them I would of never heard the gospel in a small town in Kansas some 12 years ago God bless all you if any of you come to Greeley Colorado I'll be waiting for you
I pray one day that you wake up and realise that your part of a corrupt false form of Christianity. Which questions the word of god our Heavenly Father.
President Martino!!! He so nice😆😆😆
Provo MTC is the best on the world😵 There have very strong spirit!!!
I'm miss there so much!!!
I served on a mission in 1995. I'm 44 now. I'm getting ready for a second mission but... With my beloved wife.
I really this church with all my heart
I can feel the love n the Spirit so much just watching this
Great film. I work with youth in South Central Los Angeles. I would like to be able to use this video as part of a Sunday Aaronic priesthood lessons to encourage plans for serving missions. I am hesitant to do so because there is a dramatic lack of people in the film who look like the youth I work with. I understand that we are all God's children and it shouldn't matter but I am talking about people who already feel their minority status in American life and will interpret going on a mission, as shown in this film, as something for members of European ancestry only. In the future when such films are produced can you please be more aware of this and use a diverse group of on camera people so as to have a more inclusive effect for viewers. Thanks.

Yo soy producto de la obra misional!
Por jovenes como estos que dejaron todo yo conoci la verdad!
Amo esta obra!
I love missionaries and I really appreciate their efforts to share the Gospel in different country & language, May God always be with you.
I really miss my missionary friend, Sister Anjum and Sister Akhram, you’ll always be in my heart forever.

Did the Open House today! Love the great spirit of the missionaries there!
What a beautiful new addition! I loved every minute being there in '95!
I was there 44 years ago....
I'm always interested in knowing other faiths, and I'm happy I saw this little bit. I was hearing "empty sea" all the time, good to know it means something else hehe, makes more sense!
That's so cool! You can learn more here: comeuntoChrist.org thanks for your interest in the Gospel. Blessings.
Oh my goodness! I was raised with Pres. Martino in DentonTexas! Quality family! 0:30
how wonderful to see. what a beautiful place on earth. :) like home
Very well done video! I'm super excited to spend some time there while I'm preparing to be sent off wherever I'm called to.
wonderful! I'm Catholic but I'm impressed for their service!
I’d be so nervous to serve! But you do the Lords’ work you’ll sure feel the love and blessings
Such good memories in this magnificent building... never had experience before the spirit of knowledge and truth that abides there.. always keep those memories in my heart (Nov 2005 - Jan 2006)
Missionaries are great. I admire them. So much faith! If somebody needs practise in Russian let me know.
agreed
Alex!! My brother is going to st Petersburg, Russia on his mission! He reports to the Provo MTC August 20th
Lindos filhos do Senhor!!! Trabalho inigualável.....amar os outros filhos do Senhor!!!!!
So much to see. I imagine a room with a reconstruction of Jesus in the Americas.
December 2007 - January 2008 4 weeks during Christmas and New year with wonderful missionaries. How much I thankful God for this special spiritual experience in my life ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow this new buidling is amazing! It is really exciting to get to know it but it was even more fulfilling to feel the Spirit thru these young men and women's enthusiasm to serve others. After coming back from a mission over 20 years ago and having just been set apart for another a couple days ago, it was really exciting to watch this video. Thanks for sharing it!
Elders & Sisters . . . I love you all!
I've always wanted to see what the inside of a mormon church looks like. I only went into one once just to warm up for a few minutes cause it was freezing outside, but I was too afraid to explore cause I was afraid I would be kicked out.
Eydis no I promise you, being a present Mormon you would never be kicked out, we encourage people to come and listen and look around we would never kick any one out no race no gender or belief, every sign outside our building says visitors welcome!!
