Hey Phil!
I would absolutely love to read your letter and any other information you
have about leaving the Mormon church. My uncle and his family are Mormon and
I have been praying for them a long LONG time, and knowing how to pray and
witness more effectively would be awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us!
Could you either post your writings or email me? Thanks a bunch!
Sarah
