The Duties and Joys of Serving as an LDS Mission Secretary

 I was asked to submit an article to my ward for our ward history on my role as the secretary for the Utah Salt Lake City Mission. Here's what I said.  The Duties and Joys of Serving as an LDS Mission Secretary   July 1, 2025 began my service as the secretary for the Utah Salt Lake City Mission.

Believe

 I woke up this morning singing a song from the new hymnbook called " Believe ."  Then what happens? I come to zone conference for the Service Missionaries and the choir was practicing a song for it.  Of course, it was this song.  This happens all the time!   You know what Albert Einstein said. " There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."  Here are the words to the song.  Believe Because He walked the path, I know the way. Because He calmed the storm, I'm not afraid.

My Blessing

  On June 1, 2025 at 2:00 pm I was set apart by the stake president as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  I couldn't have been more happy about anything. My whole heart and soul were so happy.  I was fasting and so prepared to receive this blessing. My blessing.  Pres Dunkley blessed me to have the spirit to guide me in my duties. He blessed me with the ability to love the missionaries and to form life long relationships with them. He blessed me with health.  Here's the kicker! He blessed me that my arms and legs function properly.  I was a little surprised about the last words in the blessing. You see, the night before, Saturday, May 30th, I was in the emergency department at the University of Utah hospital with a terrible pain in my right leg.  President Dunkley did not know about this visit to the hospital. This was all made known to him though the Spirit.  I thought I had a blood clot in my leg and I know how se...
