Last summer I declined an internship to work for the LDS Church in their Technology department. I am a member of the Church and am studying a technical subject in school, so you would think that I would jump at the opportunity. Nevertheless, I felt to work for a different employer in New York City—an experience very opposite to the promise of a quiet summer in Utah. While I was surprised and even a little hesitant toward my decision, I am now realizing that there are ways to build the Kingdom outside of direct employment by the Church. I think about the myriad technologies that the Church uses to spread the gospel, and the fact that they were mostly not invented at Church HQ. Someone has to invent them though—perhaps that will be me. Or perhaps my services will be better utilized elsewhere for a different reason. There is no way to tell now and only heeding future promptings will guarantee me to choose aright.
