| Question |
I have been having lessons with 2 american missionaries. I live in the UK. I have felt the spirit so strong, and still cant decide weather to join the
church.
My question is, did you serve a mission? because your famous, people would have loved you showing up on their doorstep! Also were you born into the church?
Many thanks Donny and God bless

I've always felt that it would have been great to serve a full time mission, but circumstances as they were, I never was able to. My parents and church leaders at the time all believed that I was able to do much more good if I remained in the public eye, so to speak, and lived the standards of our religion. Although, I have always tried to share my beliefs and my deep convictions in an non offensive way. I have been very touched by the many who say they first became interested in finding out about our Church as they became acquainted
with my family and our family values. I do look forward to the time when my wife, Debbie and I can serve a full time mission for the Church. As you may know, our first three sons (of our five) have
now completed two year missions and this has been a source of great joy to us and to them.
If you have felt the promptings of the Spirit regarding the truthfulness of what the missionaries are telling you, what is holding you back from embracing it? I would love to hear back from you and to follow your decision. I believe that you Could also become a wonderful missionary yourself, in a surprisingly short time and share the joy that the gospel can bring to those who embrace it.
Yes, I was born into a family who were devout members of the Church, for which I am eternally grateful.
Sincerely,
Donny Osmond
