He now needs to put out information to help LDS members answer the anti Mormons, since he was an anti Mormon. That would be a great help and to understand the mind set of the antis.

At the heart of this inspiring story is a simple but profound statement--"Unplanned and unscripted, member after member walked up to the pulpit and spoke about the importance of the Savior in their lives." May all of our testimony meetings live up to this standard.

With such powerful stories as this to fire up our own testimonies, maybe there is a heavenly plan than reserves many good spirits to grow up in a negative environment so they can be such a positive influence later after being taught the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Way to go Elder Harding! You are awesome!

This is a great article. But it does not even begin to describe the impact Kerry Harding has had on thousands of missionaries including my son Jared who served in the Washington DC North Spanish-speaking mission while Kerry was a ward mission leader. Kerry Harding is a legend.

This is a beautiful story with an important message. Fortunately, Kerry Harding has been able to follow a trail of the blessings that have entered his and many other people's lives because of the conscientious work of Elder Keeney. But, we often are not aware of how we are blessing the lives of others. In the hereafter, I think that we will be overwhelmed at the number of people we have positively affected through just being a good example, taking advantage of opportunities to serve, handing out a Book of Mormon to a stranger, or bearing testimony in a SS class, etc. When we are on the other side we will see that our lives have been filled with opportunities to bless others. We will be grateful for those times we were a blessing and regret those times that we didn't take advantage of the opportunity.

This story reminds me of my experience 7 years ago when Elder Josh Egan and Elder Cameron Hourk came to my door. One of the first things I said to them was, " when can I be baptised"?

Thank you for sharing this uplifting story. I too am a convert and know that this is the true Church of Jesus Christ. Yes I strive to live a life more like Him that I may live with him someday.
