@TeeplesCY Luke is incredible. The best of men.

Luke is Luke because he’s a Latter-day Saint. He’s Luke because of his time as a missionary teaching about Christ from the Bible and Book of Mormon. He’s Luke because he learned his identity as a child of God. That’s what made him Luke. There’s no Luke without Mormonism.

Finally made it to the Garden. #NYC

@TeeplesCY Yeah that name is gonna change soon

@Chase_Observes What an adventure

@DerekjAndersen Served in Guatemala. Saw violent death, volcano eruptions, sinkholes, participated in massive humanitarian efforts, and once walked for half a day across a mountain range just to find a small isolated farm with rows of orange trees--to this day the best orange I've ever tasted.

My LDS "Mormon" mission was easily the hardest thing I've done. Founding and failing a dozen companies, raising tens of millions of funding, hiring hundreds of people, four kids, 20 years of marriage...nothing is close to my mission in the Cook Islands. We slept on small mats on the floor - or on the floor directly when the blistering night heat was too much, boiled all water, scrubbed our clothes clean, cold bucket showers, lived with a stranger for seven months without a break, survived a devastating hurricane, taught ourselves to speak an ancient Polynesian language fluently without teachers or training, fell out of coconut trees, had rocks thrown at us, broke up fights, buried friends, carried machetes, biked thousands of miles, no internet or phone calls ever and no letters for weeks on end, had more children hysterically laugh at my language attempts than any human should have to endure and.... I am grateful for it all. While some 19 year olds pledged a fraternity, we pledged to God. Had the most sacred spiritual experiences almost daily, grew to deeply love Polynesian Islanders and their beautiful spirits and faith and generosity, learned more about myself than anything before or after, deeply studied the Bible for hours each day, learned that deep happiness comes in the simplest ways, and wept with the local people when it ended. It has made me the man, husband, and father that I am today.

@DanHombreGordo @cameyandersen we are wonder how she's done that

@DerekjAndersen @cameyandersen Elder Maxwell shell shocked many of us into repentance. Wow your mom hasn’t aged; amazing.

My sister @cameyandersen sent me this photos today - first time seeing. It was taken shortly after Elder Maxwell beat me 11-7 in ping pong in his basement after letting me start with 7 points. I was shell shocked and never fully recovered. Also the 90s are undefeated.

@BoM78slade @cameyandersen haha yeah

@DerekjAndersen @cameyandersen Dad lore maxing

@jkdavis89 @cameyandersen yeah there's no question what decade we were in

@DerekjAndersen @cameyandersen I was about to say that was the most 90s thing I've ever seen😂 Elder maxwell: master orator and ping pong player!

@TheBMax standing on solemn carpet - creamies check out

@DerekjAndersen The number of times I sat in that living room - so evocative of that time period. Likelihood you had a Creamie from the freezer during this visit is >85%

@rma_fv @cameyandersen haha

@DerekjAndersen @cameyandersen Mercy is for church not ping pong

@jared_beauchamp @cameyandersen agreed

@DerekjAndersen @cameyandersen He’s the best, no surprise he was good at other things!

@LDSLaw @cameyandersen one of the greats
