An introduction to my Blog

Since everyone I know (or more truthfully, almost everyone I know) has a blog these days, I thought I would spend a little bit of spare time and create my own.

The purpose of this blog is primarily to introduce readers to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Yes, I'm a Mormon, true blue, through and through. I think one of the reasons I am developing this blog is to introduce readers to me, and to dispel any myths or untruths about my beloved Church.

Why did I call the blog "The New England Advocate?" Well, first and foremost, I'm from New England (as were Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and Wilford Woodruff). Secondly, during President Truman G. Madsen's tenure as mission president of the New England mission, he (or his staff) produced a newsletter called "The New England Advocate." So, in the steps of these giants, I hope that the name fits the purpose.

To begin, I've posted a video that the Church produced. It's well worth your time if you have not yet watched it.
