About This Quote

If you say you’re a missionary, it means you’re a person who goes to a foreign country and tries to live as best as they can according to the law of God. But your parents don't know that. You have to keep it a secret from them. You have to keep up the front that you’re doing something normal. “Doing the Lord’s work?” As if I was born in a barn and they just found me! And I was already doing something normal! Not just normal—I was being a little bit of a hero, being an explorer, being a man!
