Elizabeth Smart excited to serve LDS mission

It's been a quiet seven years since Elizabeth Smart was taken from her Salt Lake home. But now the 21-year-old BYU student is excited to speak out and share a message of comfort and faith.

It's like she became my own daughter when the News first hit about what happened to her.

I bet she does good on her mission because she probably has the same effect on many people like she does me.

I knew an LDS guy who had his mission in Italy. I also knew some baptist missionaries who went to the Cayman Islands to work. Things that make you go hmm... ;)

If the LDS needs an atheist to do some missionary work for them on the Cayman Islands for a week, say around early July or so, make sure they contact me.
I'm the man for the job !

LOL

LDS missionaries are not allowed to go in the water, so enjoying the beaches would be bittersweet. Plus, many of those areas would probably be off limits because the view would include, ahem, things that would not be conducive to a clean, chaste mission life.

Wouldn't hurtling through the air at 30,000ft in a man made contraption, flying high above Satan's dominion be considered just about as dangerous is going for a swim?

Does the man made contraption crash into the ocean? I knew of some missions that allowed the missionaries to swim, my Mission President had rules not letting us.

It is wonderful to see how well Elizabeth seems to be doing. She is and will be a powerful testimony of God's Everlasting and Neverfailing Love.
