Missionary work is only work to someone that doesn’t like it. I am happy to be doing it.

I cannot control what other people believe, only what I believe. Not everyone will return home. That is just the way it is.

My best friend is a Presbyterian, sort of. I care about him but I cannot get him into the tank for anything. So I am going to try to outlive him. But I also know that he is a good man who loves the Lord so his chances seem pretty good to me.

My son will be home from his mission on July 3 and I am so looking forward to seeing him. Maybe he will be of some help in my leather shop until he goes to college. It sure would be fun.

I hate nobody but then again, I’m not going to stand by and take a load of crap from the protester minority that thinks their way to heaven is to dish bovine excrement out to LDS people.

My ideal would be to have a cabin by the side of the road and be a friend to all mankind who passed my door. Ain’t gonna happen, but I can dream.

So, contrary to your earlier post, you DO care what people believe. LOL. I thought so.

And again with the insults, OMM, I doubt Christ would approve.

Contrary to what you claim, Protestants are not the minority here, nor do they believe or teach the way to heaven has nothing to do dishing out BE to the LDS. The way to heaven is CHRIST alone, no “church” will save you. Your anger and hatred of us bible-based Christians is truly sad.

People usually get farther in witnessing if they can ACTUALLY defend their faith, not just spew out hatred, accusations, and insults. Take a lesson, OMM.

And I am not giving up on you yet. :)

I pray that you will come home to Christ and trust Him ALONE for your salvation, not works, and certainly NOT the LDS Org.

And before you say “same to you”, I could NEVER return to the LDS church. I have found Joy and security in the Lord Jesus Christ that the LDS church can NEVER give. Once you truly have the Lord in your life, and trust him alone to save you by grace through faith, there is no going back to the LDS.

So, are you going to be proxy for him? Outlive him so that he will be baptized mormon, even though you know full well it is against his wishes?

I'm not surprised if that is so. I wonder if Christ would approve.
