Elder Jaron Hoani King:A week full of meetings!

Elder Jaron Hoani King:  These past ten days have been miraculous. Statistically Elder Bennett and I have 1 baptismal date, and only about 6 true investigators... But as Elder Holland quotes in this past general conference: in Christianity, where there is more joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents than over 99 and 9 just persons; God must not be overly concerned with percentages. Elder Bennett is a spectacular companion. Last week President Clark gave us an amazing training on Amulek, and how BECAUSE Alma "dined with less-actives" he was able to have an amazing team-up. (I apologize for all the missionary lingo, it is just the only way to express these things.) And then at church on Sunday we had three investigators attend! They weren't there because of anything we did, but President and Sister Kimball were leaving on their mission to Mozambique, and they have been such wonderful missionaries that everyone wanted to come out and here them speak. The Astle's (our ward mission leader) little girl Haley loves to say that "Elder King is harmless" (she is 8 and so cute! I am sure you have a picture of her because she was baptized at the same time as her brother Steven) ANYWAY I was reading in Alma 18:22 and it describes Ammon... yes, THAT Ammon as being "wise yet harmless." At first I thought it wasn't a good thing, but I realize we really do all have our own personalities. I can't believe I have gotten this far without telling you the biggest news:

JAMES BOUGHT A RING! James and Dustie will be married soon, and we are super excited. I know God answers prayers. I know that He sent His Only Begotten to Earth because He loves YOU. I love you, and I'm so proud to call you my friends.

Elder King

  1. After all that the Mormon Church itself has now Officially admitted, confirmed and printed about Joseph Smith Jr., like:

    • He took the wives of other Men.
    • He could have sex with the wives of other Men.
    • He took a 14 year-old girl as a wife when he was 38.
    • He broke the laws of the God and Man in taking these Young Girls and the Wives and Mothers of his Friends.
    • He lied to his first wife (Emma) and ALL of the other wives as well, and to his own Church about his practice of Polygamy.
    • He lied to the Husbands of the Women he took as Wives.
    • He took sets of Sisters and Mothers and Daughters as Wives.
    • He took between 30 and 40 wives, so Brigham Young had to take 55 wives, and the Church named a School after him.
    • Then the Mormon Church itself lied about Joseph Smith’s Polygamy for more than 180 years.

    After all this and more… the Leadership of Young Women General Presidency of the Mormon Church has instructed… in YOUR LIFETIME, the millions of Young Women in the Mormon Faith, that Joseph Smith Jr. … Yes, Joseph Smith Jr., is the Example of man to seek as a Husband.

    Read for yourself the fact that this “Female Mormon Leader” told the world, and specifically her 16 year-old daughter “Becky” that, “I believe the most important quality to look for in a husband is Integrity.” Like that of Joseph Smith Jr.

    This so-called adult “Leader” told the Young Women of the Mormon Church that, Joseph Smith Jr. was the example and she even quoted a line that the Young Men of the Mormon Church might be able to use someday when dating someone like “Becky”: “If Joseph Smith could do it, so can I!.”

    Are you kidding me? Who would ever in their right mind repeat the phrase: “If Joseph Smith could do it, so can I!.”

    Can the Young Men of the Mormon Church meet the standard of Joseph Smith? I believe so… the Young Men of BYU have demonstrated that they know well how to handle “Becky” with knowledge that the Police and their Bishops will cover for them.

    Sister Carol B. Thomas, then the First Counselor in the Young Women General Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, is what I would call an Enabler for a group of First Class Sexual Predators.

    With a Mother and a Youth Leader like this… “Becky” does not have a chance in the world of Mormonism.
