An interesting article someone shared with me today. I have similar thoughts about this change and felt inspired a few days ago to share in an upcoming video message.

Mosiah 18:9 - Yea, and are willing to mourn with those that mourn; yea, and comfort those that stand in need of comfort, and to stand as a witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places that ye may be in, even until death, that ye may be redeemed of God, and be numbered with those of the first resurrection that ye may have eternal life
This was a great article! When I first read the statement from the church about discontinuing the term Mormon I felt inspiration! I was so grateful to have a living prophet to guide us back to the Lord's will. I have been sharing it with family and friends and was surprised at their responses! Some saying, "they have tried this in the past", others saying,"it just takes so much longer to say." I was surprised to hear these reactions to what I felt was a direct command from the Lord through his prophet. So what is the best way to proceed? Just encourage! Set the example by following through, teach your children, and be patient. As more changes come to light some may fall by the way, but as we minister in love, many more will be drawn to Christ! Isn't that what this is all leading to anyway!
