Now, we are moving into those countries, but we can't move there with all the baggage we produce and carry here! We can't move with a 1947 Utah Church! Could it be that we are not prepared to take the gospel because we are not prepared to take (and they are not prepared to receive) all of the things we have wrapped up with it as extra baggage?
