The Matrix

Morpheus: The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. Even now, in this very room. You can see it when you look out your window or when you turn on your television. You can feel it when you go to work... when you go to church... when you pay your taxes. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth.

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue-pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red-pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes.

Did you ever feel that you have come to a turning point in your life; a cross roads that will take you to either the left or the right, but you where unsure as to which direction would be best. Many of us reach that point some time in our life were we must accept the blue-pill and simply go forward as we have always done or the red-pill to discover new avenues within our relationships, our families, and our service to Jesus Christ. If we choose Wonderland, we need to go down the rabbit-hole into an unknown territory. Like most rabbit-holes, it will lead to places were we haven’t been before or may have never considered if we just played it safe and took the blue-pill.

Serving in full-time missions -- it is like taking that red-pill. You don't fully understanding where it will take you, but you soon realize you will need guidance from a directional leader. Christ will always take you down a path where you least expect; to a Wonderland that far surpasses even your largest dreams. It is really up to all of you which pill to take. Choose wisely!
