McLain

I met the missionaries walking down the street from my house.

I think of the book Les Miserables and The bishop Bienvenu when I think of being familar with someone and their infirmities. When he was told that a priest said it wasn't his job to go visit an inmate condemed to death he went instead. He did not just read him a couple scriptures and leave, he stayed with him all night. The next morning he went with to the guillotine with him and stood near him as he was excitcuted and provided comfort for the man. After this he was effected by what happend to the man for many days and often to the point of having trouble sleeping. That to me is being familar with another human being and their afflictions.

Greetings brothers and sisters. My name is Mclain ( my first name). My wife and I are converts to the church and converted together along with a daughter a little over four years ago. My wife and I are very active members and the highlight of our lives is the two days a month we get to serve as oridinance workers in the temple: her as an assistant shift coordinator and myself as an ordinance worker. I look forward to learning more about all of you and about the gospel I have grown to cherish.
