California Fresno Mission FAREWELL – Feb. 10, 2015 – FULL EVENT

Another great farewell to the Missionaries who have been serving the Mission of Jesus Christ for the past few years of their lives. They walked with Him, and brought many back unto the Father through Him. Now they are home, making family lives of their own… in His glory. I love the Father, I love the Son, I love the Holy Ghost… and I love the Missionaries!

December 25, 2014 – Missionary Christmas!!

Each year we get the pleasure of having the Missionary’s of our area over for Christmas day! This day was most wonderful as we played games, had a fantastic meal, and even watched the Disney film Frozen! From the standpoint of a Father, I will tell the parents of these fine young Missionaries that they are truly amazing! In the below photos and the 25 minute video, you will hear 14 of the 22 Missionaries we saw that day tell their amazing Christmas Testimonies, and see the fun they had this great day… celebrating the anniversary of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ! I found their testimonies most enlightening, and a few brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Missionary’s! And thank you Families of Missionaries! You are doing the work of Jesus Christ! Enjoy the photos and video below...

We are blessed! For the third year in a row, since my own Baptism, we are pleased to host the Missionaries and extended family for Thanksgiving!

November 24, 2014 Missionary Prep Day

Every so often we have the great pleasure of hosting the Zone Missionaries for their Prep Day in the California Fresno Mission! This is such a day between their getting their needs fulfilled (Laundry and Groceries), and getting back to the Mission later that evening. This day we were allowed to show them the LDS film Ephraim’s Rescue of which they thoroughly enjoyed while sharing several pizza’s we provided for their time with us. We do this often to give them a taste of home…as these young adults have come out to work the Mission of Jesus Christ for a few years, leaving all their comforts at home, wherever that may be in the world. There are several countries and continents represented by these amazing Missionaries participating this day. We are blessed to have them with us!

Surprise Missionary Visit!!

Coincidence is an illusion. Heavenly Father works in amazing ways, always and complete… and sometimes with surprise. Melanie and I came home yesterday evening to meet with Sister’s Ard and Reese, only to be met by two handsome young men whom were obviously Missionaries of Jesus Christ. The Sisters had not yet arrived. These young Missionaries approached us asking if we were the Kuhn Family…. which of course we are. One looked very familiar to me, and after welcoming them in, and placing what I had in my hands down, I noticed the familiar Missionary holding his Spanish Book of Mormon over his name tag. It occurred to me at that moment who he was…. Elder Cook and younger brother to the Elder Jacob Cook who helped bring my mother and I back to Christ...

PIONEER Day! Celebration on June 26, 2014 – Community Missionary Works!

The Fresno Stake Center’s field was well in use this fantastic day as more than 750 people (both LDS members and non members) were attending the events to celebrate this day! Not to mention the Zone’s Missionaries! The morning sun rose quickly as LDS Member volunteers presented everyone with hearty pancake breakfasts, followed by fun, games, face painting, bounce houses and water slides even the adults will end up traversing! The Fire Department sent over one of their Engines as the staff  began to shoot their water cannon into the air to make it rain during the sunshine! The children and adults took advantage of the great cool off in the sweltering Fresno heat. (See video below)...

Welcome to Missionary Stories

Hello Brothers and Sisters around the world! My name is Kurt Kuhn and I am a Latter Day Saint. I serve the mission of Jesus Christ and I am happy to host a site that is dedicated to those living and serving the mission of Jesus Christ. By sharing these stories of those on the Mission to bring everyone to Christ, (and through him back to our Heavenly Father), we hope to help future Missionaries in their inspiration to be the best they can be, while showing that their journey with Christ will be amazing. This can also serve as a great journal for all Missionaries to refer back to their journey when completed, or to share their journey with people they wish to share with. Inspiration is our goal in that mission we are all on…. with Jesus Christ leading us home.

Be Well!

Kurt Kuhn

Farewell Sister Tautuiaki, July 15, 2014

Melanie and I had the great opportunity to meet a fantastic young Missionary toward the end of her Mission…. Sister Tautuiaki! This young Sister from Hawaii absolutely has a light around her that shines ever so brightly. Anyone who has met her can tell you the same. She became family immediately. Though we did not know her very long before her departure, I know her Missionary works are great… as you can tell by her testimony, and song in the video below. Sister… Mahalo nui loa. A hui hou kakou.
Brother & Sister KUHN.
