What my Mormon mission was ACTUALLY like… 

Nice! It is awesome when people serve on a mission. I’m a Catholic, but I’m talking to some LDS missionaries now, and, as someone is a former missionary, too, I enjoy learning about the missionary lives of others!

I struggled mightily on my mission. Like a daily struggle. I'm for sure glad I did it, but I was ready to come home after a month.

I served in Michigan. The so called: (Anti-Mormon capital of the world). Us missionaries called it the greatest mission in the world, which I'm sure every mission says that though. 😉 It was both some of the greatest times and some of the hardest times of my life. I'm glad I went through it though. It really builds the person you will become. The type of person Heavenly Father wants in his church as leaders. It prepares you for life, service, marriage, career, everything. 😎

Loved this! My boyfriend just started the MTC and I’m very curious to see what new struggles he faces in his mission due to the pandemic, compared to pre-pandemic missionaries. This was so helpful because at the end of the day, pandemic or pre-pandemic, it’s good to remember that the numbers are not the ultimate goal or purpose of a mission.

Sam experienced a tornado on her mission. When I was on my mission in Japan - that's when I experienced my first earthquake (it was not very big at all). Been through a number of quakes since then and a whole lot more intense!!

on my mission in Argentina in 1989, our mission president wouldn't let us call home at all, we were glad when he got released so we could call home.

Fr. Mike Schmitz works in Duluth, and he was talking about “Minnesota Nice,” where people seem “nice,” but are just agreeable and don’t care generally. Kinda insular people, don’t try to branch out too much and make friends with new people. Nordic personality maybe. Whataburger is dope. You guys are wholesome people

I’m about 2 months away from starting my mission. This definitely helped. Thank you guys!

Oh man - I related to SO many things in this in my mission!!! Holy moly. Like...I can’t even begin to list the things mentioned in this video that I related to 😂😅

Midwest represent!!! I'm from Iowa

Struggling with my faith.. Might leave the church and uh this helps.

My mission was super tough: I went to Mexico for two years and tried to convince those people they were actually Jews.

What/who cared for you when you were ill or injured during your mission? What credentials do the "mission nurses" have (those you call when needing med advice)? Who should I contact re: medical negligence for a missionary? Please advise asap. Thank you.🙏

i like samantha, she is a good host

How you like the Minnesota winters?

There's usually 2 Sisters and a person who is in The Church of Jesus Christ. That is what I remember.. I like to have 2 Sisters and a friend help me. Right now I have w Elders, but that's okay with me.

Ephesians 2:8-9

Two questions. 1)have you red the CES letter? 2)how do you reply to the claims made by the letter? I just finished the book and it was very convincing. Check it out.

First comment lol great video though!

I wonder why God wanted to destroy that Whataburger so bad

We just had a tornado in Illinois. The wataburger tornado metaphor is yet another act of god. This channel is spectacular.

i think missions need to be rethought, and maybe the church is. It's a very different world now with different ways to reach people.

Key indicators. Translation = statistics.

But I don't think your audience are all teenagers

Isn't this clear evidence how legalistic the Mormon church is?

Missions are absolutely traumatic, sometimes by design. I was lucky enough to have a mission president with a very kind and big heart. It is a sort of "hazing" type of experience and tends to lead to greater levels of conviction - which is probably the point. I always thought that it was crazy that old people don't actually preach the gospel, but of course by that age they don't need the trauma to ensure commitment. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I never knew Mormons we're Christian

Interesting.. i was watching your vid on the best and worst mormon marriage advice .......im 57...........and yes.. you do t really know each other til 6 or 7 years in really

How do neurodivergent people cope?

Islam The Beautiful Religion ( Be Just ) Quran 5:8 '' O you who believe! stand out firmly for God, as witnesses to fair dealing, and let not the HATRED OF OTHERS TO YOU make you swerve to wrong and depart from justice. Be just: that is next to piety: and fear God. For God is well-acquainted with all that ye do. '' Quran 4:58 '' Indeed, God commands you to render trusts to whom they are due and when you judge between people to judge with justice. Excellent is that which God instructs you. Indeed, God is ever Hearing and Seeing.'' ( God's The Rules Of War ) Quran 2:190 '' Fight in the way of God THOSE WHO FIGHT YOU but do not transgress. Indeed. God does not like transgressors. '' Quran 2 :193 '' And fight them on until there is no more oppression, and there prevail justice and faith in God; but if they cease, Let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression. '' Quran 4:90 ''.........So if they withdraw from you and cease their hostility and offer you peace, in that case Allah has not granted you permission to fight against them.'' Quran 8:61 ''And if they seek peace, then you also seek it, and put your trust in God. He is the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.'' ( Stand Up For Justice ) Quran 4 :135O '' Ye who believe! stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even as against YOURSELVES, or your parents, or your kin, and whether it be (against) rich or poor: for God can best protect both. Follow not the lusts (of your hearts), lest ye swerve, and if ye distort (justice) or decline to do justice, verily God is well-acquainted with all that ye do.'' ( Who Are The Good Human Beings? ) Quran 177 '' Righteousness is not that you turn your faces toward the east or the west, but [true] righteousness is [in] one who believes in God, the Last Day, the angels, the Book, and the prophets and gives wealth, IN SPITE OF LOVE FOR IT, to relatives, orphans, the needy, the traveler, those who ask [for help], and for freeing slaves; [and who] establishes prayer and gives charity; [those who] fulfill their promise when they promise; and [those who] are patient in poverty and hardship and during battle. Those are the ones who have been true, and it is those who are the righteous. '' ( Freedom To Believe And To Reject ) Quran 2:256 '' Let there be no compulsion in religion. Truth stands out clear from error '' Quran 10:99 '' And had your Lord willed, those on earth would have believed - all of them entirely. Then would you compel the people in order that they become believers? '' ( Tolerance For Other Religions ) Quran 109: 1- 6 Say,"O disbelievers, I do not worship what you worship. Nor are you worshipers of what I worship. Nor will I be a worshiper of what you worship. Nor will you be worshipers of what I worship. For you is your religion, and for me is my religion." ( Protection for Idol Worshiper ) Quran 9:6 "And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah. Then deliver him to his place of safety. That is because they are people who do not know. " Quran16:125 “Call people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good teaching, and argue with them in the most courteous way” Quran7:199 “Be tolerant, command what’s right, pay no attention to foolish people” ( Friendship With Non Muslims ) Quran 60:8 '' God does not forbid you from those who do not fight you because of religion and do not expel you from your homes - from being righteous toward them and acting justly toward them. Indeed, God loves those who act justly. '' ( Do Christians And Jews and "OTHER" non-Muslims go to Heaven? ) Quran 2:62 '' Those who believe (in the Qur'an), and those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), and the Christians and the Sabians,->ANY Protecting Friends < One Of Another ) Quran 9:71 ''And the believers, men and women, are > Protecting Friends < one of another; they enjoin the right and forbid the wrong, and they establish worship and they pay the poor-due, and they obey God and His messenger. As for these, God will have mercy on them. Lo! God is Mighty, Wise.'' Quran16:97 “To whoever, male or female, does good deeds and has faith, We shall give a good life and reward them according to the best of their actions. Quran 30:21 “And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy…” The Prophet Muhammad said, “Heaven lies under the feet of your mother.” ( Human Are One family ) Quran 49:13 " O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of God is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And God has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)." ( All The Racist People Will Enter Hellfire ) Quran 30:22 "And of His signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the diversity of your languages and your colors. Indeed in that are signs for those of knowledge." My comment: The '' BASIC '' message of God to the human is that '' YOU '' believe in God and be kind to other human beings / animals and in the RETURNED God will reward you with a new life in Paradise. * The Quran ONLY guides you how to become a good human being "Nothing Else". * You are a good human being or a bad human being that is YOUR choice. * No one can force you to become a good human being. * You MUST work HARD to become a good human being. * Why should ''YOU'' do good deeds and avoid bad deeds?. * Do Good - it's for You. Do Bad - It's against you. * '' YOUR'' life is a TEST from God that you will choose to do either Good or Bad. * Find the excuse to help others and forgive others NOT the other way around. * '' YOUR '' final destination is either Hell or Heaven. * So work HARD toward choice of YOUR destination.. Quran 17:7 " If you do good, you will do so for your own good. And if you do evil, it will be to your own loss."
