You make me cry Ben. You also make me miss my Daddy.
He was truly one of a kind and I even knew that when I was growing up. He was so giving and helpful to all who came in contact with him. He was a barber, a shoemaker, a peddler, a builder, a farmer, an all around fix it man, a crane operator at Geneva Steel, a great home teacher, a happy maker, an entertainer, and the sweetest and most wonderful Daddy in the world. My Momma was his great love and strength. She was an angel.

That was our ward for 11 years. One of the best in the church. I’m glad you had a good experience. xoxo

Comment on Home Teachers, Lester, Ruth, Virgil, and Gladys by Heather (Johnson) Anderson

Thank you so much. Somehow, my sister found your blog and this post, and wrote to tell us about it. I thought I would check it out, and I am so glad that I did.

You see, Lester and Ruth Johnson are my grandparents. They were (and are) just as you’ve described – hardworking, happy, loving people who found infinite joy in helping those around them. So many lives were touched by their sweet spirits and generous hearts.

Some of my most treasured memories are of the time I spent with my Grandma and Grandpa Johnson. I learned so much from them. I miss them every day, but I know that I will see them again, and I can’t wait.

Thanks again.

My husband, Rulon, is the son of Lester and Ruth Johnson. Our daughter found this blog in looking for information for her primary sharing time assignment. We would like to thank you so much for this wonderful tribute to them. It is nice to know that people remember them with such love. They would be happy and humbled to know that they were such a big part of your life and that you still remember them. Thanks again for writing this. It touched our hearts.

Hey Ben,

My name is Jamison Hill. About 6 months ago I bought restoredtruth.org and am going to make a website for sharing the gospel. Today I was wondering if restoredtruth.com was taken and here I am. I think this is awesome what you have here and hope to share the gospel and the message of the restoration as you are here.

Thanks for your faith.

Comment on Callings in the Church by admin

Carla…

Absolutely… but as I prayed about it and considered where the calling was coming from (God) I realized that if I took it, God would ease my burden in other parts of my life and actually use the calling to bless me and my family. And that is exactly what happened.

President Ezra Taft Benson said in effect that when we put God first, everything else in life will fall into place or just simply fall out of or life. Many less important things can just be done away with.

Thanks for the question!
