My two nieces are on missions. It is very sad to read their letters. They are in their "happy worlds". It seems that there is no way on earth they would listen to anybody who tried to talk to them about the possibility that Mormonism might not be true.
I wish they would have come to me for advice before going on their missions. I have spent countless hours studying the Church. I am older than they are, and probably know more than they do. They way they write, it seems like there is no hope that they will every find out the truth.
I have thought about writing to them. But the thought of doing so is very discouraging.
Really, it is so sad! These girls are probably never, never, NEVER going to realize that the Church is not true! If they have trouble finding a man to marry in the temple, they might start to doubt the Church, but other than that, it seems very, very unlikely that they will ever change their minds.
They haven't come to me for advice about anything else either, which is sad. I have had a lot of experiences in my life. I went to BYU and to other colleges, and I could give them advice, especially since they have also gone to Mormon colleges.
One of my nephews is also on a mission. I haven't read any of his letters, but when he left he was excited to go, and there was no hint of any doubts at all about the Church. He also has never come to me for advice about anything.
These people will probably NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER, EVER realize the truth! They appear to be hopeless cases!
This is one reason we need other unbelievers for support. If we didn't have to deal with Mormon family members, maybe we could forget about the whole Mormon business.
Maybe, MAYBE, one of them will come to me in 20 or 30 years, asking for sympathy for the fact that they don't believe anymore. What will I say? Will I say, "You knew I didn't believe a long time ago, and you never came to me then. Why should I even talk to you about this?"
Many human beings are irrational, insensitive, insane RELIGIOUS FANATICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
