I really loved this article by Elder Callister. I have several family members, friends, and neighbors who are drifting away or who have left the church. I can say, without exception, that regardless of their statements that they "have never been happier," their despondent countenances and withdrawal from family circles and community tell me otherwise. Despite our many efforts to show our love for them they become more and more reclusive. One family in particular has become so unhappy that it shows in their faces. When we do see them, they look haggard and miserable. We pray for them daily that they can find again the joy they once had in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
