“It is the dream of parents and grandparents that their children and grandchildren have a better lot in life: better experiences and more opportunities. That was my dream for my children, and now it’s my dream for my grandchildren. I have seen that having the gospel in your life as a youth and living it opens doors of opportunities that allow more to be accomplished. The gospel provides more protection against the generational curses that seem to plague people.” OpportunitiesGospel Centered Book:My Lord, He Calls Me: Stories of Faith by Black American Latter-day Saints Source: My Lord, He Calls Me: Stories of Faith by Black American Latter-day Saints
“Members often ask me why I joined this church and why I’ve stayed a member. It’s difficult to explain with mere words, but I tell them as best I can. It’s my birthright to receive all the ordinances, and my being in this church is my walk with Jesus.” Jesus ChristBirthrightLds Church Book:My Lord, He Calls Me: Stories of Faith by Black American Latter-day Saints Source: My Lord, He Calls Me: Stories of Faith by Black American Latter-day Saints
