At first the person shrugged that off saying that money isn't everything, but it eventually became apparent that, with the present course taken, the person would not be able to make ends meet, and become one of those "living paycheck to paycheck" people. The person started to cut everything imaginable to scrape along, but it still was not enough so they did what was the next logical step - seeking new employment. The person was contacted by a recruiter and told of a wonderful opportunity that seemed to match their skillset and aspirations, however it turned out the new opportunity was with the direct competition. The person knew of co-workers that worked there many years ago, and heard the co-workers relate the "horror stories" and tales regarding that company (the competition). Their stories "scared" the person from even thinking about that company so the person declined that opportunity to meet with the prospective employer. But something deep inside told them otherwise.  Nevertheless the person didn't listen.

So, early one fall morning the person met with the prospective employer. The CEO was very friendly. He talked about his religious beliefs and the company. And the CEO talked to the person about what they wanted to do with life. He listened carefully to the person say that they wanted to work with a company where they were valued and appreciated and wanted to be a contributor. The CEO then told the person where he sees them and what responsibilities will be needed within the company in a short matter of time. The person spoke to the CEO about the "horror stories" that were told by their co-workers. The CEO smiled and said, he held NO grudges at all. He related an analogy that when a person is in the temple dressed in white, the person beside you could be a very successful businessman, or a man scraping along to make ends meet. "It matters not", he continued, "because we are gathered in the temple for a common goal". "That is the way I treat my employees, and fellow businessman" he said.

The person left the interview filled with wonder and feeling extremely good that they did, come and see for themselves, to form their own conclusions. The person yearned to become a part of the new company.

It seems to me that many who hear things about the church hear from those who have, either never investigated it themselves, or those that became discouraged with the church. Yet, the Saviour's admonition to "Come" invites one on a path to self discovery, where one can form their own conclusions. A young boy, Joseph Smith heard stories circulating from various preachers about God and religion, but it wasn't until he went into a grove of trees to come and see for himself, that he received his answer. Lehi, in his vision - after partaking of the fruit desired that his family and friends would come and see and taste. We may feel the same way about our family, friends, and neighbors who do not know of the joy of the gospel. Our simple invitation of come, and see can help part the veil, and our invited guests can glimpse into what they knew to be true in the pre-existence.

The story above is not complete yet, but this much can be told. An offer of employment was issued to the person where the opportunities for growth and responsibility are exponential. And the compensation is 15% more than the person is presently making. The present employer did propose a counter-offer, however the person turned the offer down because they want to experience the new opportunity themselves. They want to come and see and experience the new opportunities and responsibilities themselves. And, while change is scary and uncertain, placing their faith and trust in The Lord after having prayed and found that their decision "felt good".  All because the person, at length heeded not the mainstream opinion and decided to come, and see for themselves.
