A few days ago I received this interesting story in my email. The Unemployed Graduate An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All he had left was $10. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could find no job, and nobody was ready to help him.

Both she and her husband are returned missionaries, but her husband has since become apostate and, according to her, "anti-Mormon." They have 2 young children.

She was very appreciative and asked if I was available... Read More
