Missionaries often pray that someone will open their door to them. On Elm Street, that someone may be Freddy Krueger from A Nightmare on Elm Street. An answered prayer is an answered prayer.
Missionaries share their beliefs all day, and many people don’t believe them. Santa, the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy know exactly how that feels.
Missionary companions pray together several times a day, and they also share a very small apartment. Sometimes a prayer turns into a gentle hint.
Conference is broadcast live from Salt Lake City, which can land in the middle of the night on the other side of the world. Missionaries in places like Australia sometimes watch at hours their mission schedule would normally call bedtime. The testimony is strong; the eyelids, less so.
General Conference isn’t one meeting but several two-hour sessions spread across Saturday and Sunday. Missionaries love inviting friends to watch. They don’t always mention up front how much watching that is.
Latter-day Saints sometimes call each other Saints. In New Orleans, though, “the Saints” usually means the football team, and General Conference weekend can overlap with game day. Not everyone gets the double meaning right away.
Twice a year, in April and October, Church leaders speak at General Conference from the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, and members around the world watch at home. For many families that means pajamas, blankets and plenty of popcorn. Missionaries often watch with a member family, but they stay in missionary clothes, no matter how comfy the couch looks.
In dry parts of the American West, many Latter-day Saints pray for “moisture” so often it has become a household phrase. Sometimes those prayers are answered all at once.
“Faith without works is dead” (James 2:26). Prayer comes first, but sometimes the answer is already in your companion's hand.
