Six months later, the missionaries called on him. "Those missionaries were great," he said. "They were a good example to me. I was interested in their life and service.

Members invited to share the gospel through magazine subscriptions

As the Church’s Materials Management supervisor for Thailand, Kanogwan Wongwiraphab regularly handles requests from members for Church equipment and supplies such as sacred clothing and LDS publications. But she was surprised one day when a woman visited her office to renew her Church magazines subscription. Members normally renew their subscriptions through their unit’s magazine representative.
