During the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, Australia, one team was never recognized for beating, with a single exception, every Olympic Basketball team they were asked to play against. Yet this same ensemble of Missionaries paved the way for the growth of basketball throughout the country of Australia. This is their untold story.
In response to your fear of emotion: Just look at the tears of the woman taken in adultery when the Savior forgave her. Look at the tears of the man who asked the Lord to strengthen his faith when the savior healed his son, or the sinful woman with the alabaster box of ointment who bathed the Lords feet with her tears, or of Paul warning the people day and night with tears, or of the Savior Himself who wept over Lazarus. Then there is always the prodigal son returning. Emotion can be good.

Thank you for sharing. I would love hear of your personal experiences with this faith. Do you have any? Were you one of those who were trapped and had to leap from an upper window of the Salt Lake Temple and swim to safety in the Great Salt Lake?
I have never been a part of anything as wonderful, as helpful, as insightful, as spiritual, as beneficial as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I get to bless and help and lift others every day. How might I reach out to you?
