4 months ago, my husband and I returned home to Salt Lake City after serving an 18-month mission in West Africa, specifically Liberia and Ghana. Yes, it was hard sometimes. It was very hot and humid sometimes. We got robbed twice. We were very far from our beloved family and friends. Was it worth all of that? ABSOLUTELY!!! We served an honorable mission and wouldn't change this "sometimes difficult" experience for anything in the world!!! What an honor it was to be called to serve my dear brothers and sisters in Africa! I owe my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ so much for their confidence in me, their love, support, and protection!!

This is a perfect talk for which for me to listen!! My dear husband Billy & I were both convert members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Saints prior to our getting married!! God our Heavenly Father called my husband home from this mortal life to beyond the veil a week ago yesterday!! Now, I remain here until Father calls me home, too, at which time I will be blessed to both be in Father's presence &:also see my beloved again!! I know that our spirits lived with Heavenly Father before our mortal birth, & our spirits will continue to live after our mortal death!! ❤

I posted this statement on Truth Social and several other sites 11/28/2024 From 1989 to about 2001/02, I gave away copies of the Mayflower Compact to anyone who wanted one at my Nice Convenience store. Every year at Thanksgiving time I gave these away until the Mormons finally ran me out of business in about 2001/02. And No matter what I've tried to do, I have been destitute ever since here in Utah. Yet I thank God that today we still have a roof over our heads and we live in a country that more or less supports Freedom. And may I say, a special Thank You today in 2024 for God allowing Our Great President to be re-elected once again! I pray day & Night that God will Guide him and Protect him, and his Fine Family! And also I ask his guidance and protection for Mr. Vance and his fine family as well! Thank You God! Godspeed Mr. President! Steve Nelson👍

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints love this country, its founding and its freedoms. Thank you for giving away that sacred document in your store. Thank you for loving freedom and this beloved country. “Mormons” nickname for members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints believe you and every human being on this planet is a precious child and creation of our Heavenly Father whether you are a member of the church or not. You are dearly loved and cherished. We are taught to love our neighbor as ourselves… and “when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are in the service of your God.”-King Benjamin, from the Book of Mormon. I’m shocked that a Mormon would chase you out of business. I truly am. If they were really members of the church that caused you to lose your business I’m so sorry. They will be held accountable, The Almighty knows all things. 🙏🏻☀️❤️ Hooray President Trump is coming back! The country is so ready for his leadership to return and help heal our nation!! We stand with you. ❤️🙏🏻🇺🇸

Ontem domingo antes de ir a capela pela manhã para participar do sacramento eu me levantei um pouco mais cedo para ler o livro de Mórmon sentada no sofá. Eu li Alma 32: 38 "e quando chegar o calor do sol e a abrasar..." pensei nesses dias de como cultivar a raiz com cuidado e atenção, para não secar e não morrer. Com todos sentindo alegria por poderem estar com um apóstolo do Senhor tão querido ❤ pela igreja do Senhor e ouvindo os seus conselhos sagrados e amorosos.❤ Sou grata por esse dia do Senhor perfeito. Todos os dias do Senhor são perfeitos assim. É um desejo. Que se prolongue dias reconfortantes assim nessa terra pra sempre para todos nós para que Jesus Cristo venha ❤

The Scriptures warn us of things about our leaders we can't see, Preface… concerning the Twelve Apostles of the Lamb... Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth... And upon my house shall it begin... First among those among you...who have professed to know my name and have not known me, and have blasphemed against me in the midst of my house...(D&C 112:24-26) O my people, they who lead thee cause thee to error...(2 Nephi 13:12) Let no man deceive you by any means...that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition... Who opposeth God...sitteth in the temple of God...(2 Thessalonians 2:3-4) ...until he be taken out of the way. (2 Thessalonians 2:7) While that man, who was called of God and appointed...shall fall by the shaft of death, like as a tree that is smitten by the vivid shaft of lightning. (D&C 85:8) Never in the Bible or any Mormon Scripture can you read of a prophet, apostle or prophetess saying these words, I promise. For to do so would make themselves instead of God. Promises are only made by God Himself never by man throughout all the Sciptures except, Nehemiah 5:23 and Joshua 9:21, where man made a promise for a negative outcome. So, we see from Scripture man’s promises result in a bad outcome. Beware of the promises made to you by man saying, I promise, in behalf of the God of Jacob, the Scriptures warn us. ...the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation...(2 Timothy 3:15) If ye love me, keep my commandments. (John 14:15)
