Elder Jordan Wade

Jordan is one great man! We will miss him but

are thankful he will be serving the Lord.

I realize over and over again what a miracle it

is for a young man to decide to give up his "life of comfort" to go out into the unknown and walk

forward with Faith. Terry said this about missionaries. "They work so hard and have so much faith. I don’t think there is greater faith in all the earth than you find in the young missionaries of the church. They are all about the ‘works’ part of the principle of faith. Once I was teaching them about the principle of faith. We were reading scriptures together and talking about how faith works, and it suddenly dawned on me that I was talking to a group of people that live the principle perhaps better than any other group of people on the earth. They have converted the word into deed. They took that great leap of faith to accept a mission call to a foreign land. Then, they struggle through a new language and deal from day to day w/ the difficulties of communicating in that language. They work longer hours and more days of the week than most, and yet, we are always asking them for more effort and greater discipline. They talk to people whom they don’t know and they accept rejection and abuse and just turn their cheek. They teach this message w/ the faith that it will bless and change the lives of people that are twice or three times their age. All this they do without the promise of worldly gain or recognition. Can there be greater faith on the earth than theirs? "
