 🕊️ Dear Elder Godfrey – A Missionary Letter from Grandpa

When You Feel Alone, Remember Who You Are

Somewhere right now, a young elder is zipping up his suitcase.
There’s a name tag on the table. A stack of letters. A mother holding back tears.
And a grandfather quietly whispering to the Lord:

"What can I give him that will matter when it gets hard?"

I wrote this for him.
But it’s really for you, too.

✉️ A Letter to Every Missionary

Dear Elder Godfrey,

I served a mission too. It was hard.
There were long days. Lonely mornings. Doors slammed. Hearts closed.
But I want to share the secret that changed everything for me:

Every morning, ask this one thing:
👉 “Lord, what can I do for You today?”

That question will carry you.
It opens the heavens.
It silences the fear.
It puts the Savior back at the center—where He belongs.

You don’t have to carry the weight of the world.
You’re not called to fix everything.
Just love. Just lift. Just listen.
And let Him lead.

📜 The Book Is True

The Book of Mormon is a voice from the dust.
A last-days trumpet to the children of men.
The Lord will use you to deliver it.
Not because you're perfect.
But because you're willing.

Even the Nemenhah Records testify that the Lord will call missionaries—simple, believing ones—to carry His word to the remnant and to the scattered nations.
They say:

“The Lord shall send forth the humble to bear the message… And those who remember shall awaken and return.”

You are part of that.
A fulfillment of prophecy.
A living invitation for the world to come to Christ.

🔥 When It Gets Hard

Some days will feel dry.
Some prayers will feel like they bounce off the ceiling.
That’s okay.

Keep walking.
Keep trusting.

Even when your faith feels like a flicker,
He is still the fire.

When you feel scared or empty, remember who you are:
Not just a missionary.
Not just a name tag.
But a son of God.
A light in the dark.
A witness of Jesus Christ.

🙏 Final Words from Grandpa

You don’t need to worry about money, career, or the future.
Just worry about today—
Did you walk with Him?
Did you listen?
Did you love?

If you do that, you’ll be okay.
You’ll do more than okay.
You’ll become His.

I love you.
He loves you more.
Go forward in faith.

— Grandpa

Waking Up Zion --- The Book

-
INTRODUCTION Not a Faith Crisis — A Truth Awakening This isn’t a book about walking away. It’s a book about walking deeper. Deeper into Jesus. Deeper into His voice, His light, and His truth. For years, I loved my faith. I still do. The Church gave me structure. It gave me good people. It taught me to honor prophets and scriptures. To seek the Holy Ghost. To follow Christ. But somewhere along the way, I started asking quiet questions— Not to tear down, but to understand more. Where is the power of the Book of Mormon? Where is the fire of the early Saints? Where is the Jesus who speaks face to face? This book isn’t here to fight the Church. It’s here to reach the hearts of those in it — Especially those who feel something is missing, but don’t yet have words for it. I believe God is still working. But I also believe He is calling many of His children out of comfort and into courage. Out of tradition and into truth. Out of a system and into a personal walk with His Son. If you love the C...

About This Blog: The True Remnant

🕊️ About This Blog: The True Remnant The True Remnant isn’t a ministry. It’s not a movement. And no, we’re not taking donations or passing the hat. 😄 It’s just… a witness. A quiet one. Born from fire. Forged in prayer. Offered in love—for anyone starting to  remember. Remember what? That Zion was never supposed to be a brand. That the temple was never supposed to need a swipe card. That Jesus never came to build a corporation—He came to gather the broken, walk with the humble, and call home the lost. If that tugs at something deep in you… You’re in the right place.  🧡 A Note to My Fellow Latter-day Saints If you’re a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (yes, the whole official name 😉) and you’re feeling a little nervous reading this—breathe. This blog isn’t here to tear down your faith. It’s here to deepen it. I haven’t left Jesus Christ. I haven’t left the Restoration. And I haven’t left the Church—at least, not yet. I know some of what I write may f...
