I was thinking about your mission tonight and was going to recommend that you be authentic.<br><br>It is my observation, though I will not go so far to say it 'is' a fact inasmuch as I am not Mormon, that the LDS Church is still quite homophobic so it will be interesting to see their reactions. It is my hope that their hearts will be open to your words. But if not, remember also that Christ was rejected from his own hometown...and violently so. Read Luke 4:16-28 for a direct reference.<br><br>I will respond to most, if not all, of your e mail tonight. I returned from the conference yesterday. May the Lord bless you and keep you and make His face shine upon you. Amen. :)<br><br>Peace,<br><br>AndrewABrookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11933295480047868840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847189204161971538.post-53040284330003783422009-01-13T22:08:00.000-08:002009-01-13T22:08:00.000-08:00Good luck Andrew, we will all eagerly await your r...Good luck Andrew, we will all eagerly await your report.Alanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02992194211469009236noreply@blogger.com
