So, we're going to welcome back to Part 2 of my interview with Matthew Lomire.

We have been talking about Matthew's conversion to the church. We talked about his time at the Air Force Academy, his mission to Taiwan, his desires all throughout his late adolescence and early adulthood to the New York Times.

We talked about his meeting, Sarah McConkey, granddaughter, Bruce Armaconkey, son of former or a state president, Mark McConkey.

Their courtship that lasted multi years was a multi-year epic courtship that ended in their getting married.

We talked about Matt Wunning so much to a converse with the Lord with Christ or with God and to get direct revelation from God in Christ that he even sought out a job as a temple worker so that he could pray in the tour to prayer.

He decided or felt inspired that he should be able to pray in the tour to prayer even from his own home, dressed in the robes of Holy Priesthood and how that was a very important spiritual experience for him.

He learned maybe in his mid-20s that he needed to trust his own relationship with God in Christ over maybe necessarily what church leaders taught and how important that was to him.

Over time how he and Sarah ended up getting married and as they tried to share their new teachings and practices and the principles that Denver Snuffer taught, that I should say Matt was learning and following and believing in prayer to ever learn about Denver Snuffer when they tried to share this information with Sarah's dad,

how he wasn't very receptive to it and how that led them to want to keep their beliefs in Denver Snuffer and in the movement more quiet.

That lasted for a certain amount of time until the point that Matt received a vision that communicated to him that the church was sort of going in the wrong direction that it was going to be time for him to speak out and that vision came in conjunction with his sister becoming ill and passing away.

So where we left the story was that Matt and Sarah weren't speaking about their newfound beliefs or long-standing beliefs to her parents but at some point Matt felt like he needed to write a letter and share it with the state president.

His state president, I believe the Colorado Springs area.

So that kind of, I was just trying to give our listeners kind of a preview of what you've already said.

So let's take it at the point where you write that letter and you share it.

I'm going to pull up the letter now because there are several things I want to read from it but just remind our listeners what your motivation was in writing that letter.

What you hoped it would accomplish, thought it would accomplish.

I felt an obligation to take a stand for the truth and the face of the teaching that we can't be led astray by our leaders.

So it was that fall general authority conference, general conference where a few things were taught. I'm going to pull this up and show that.
