"We have to be like the people of Ammon and bury our swords a.k.a. whatever practices so that we can help raise our own children to be as the stripling warriors of old. Also another great point is that just because a missionary has had a two year break from technology and hasn't really had the opportunity to continue those bad habits in the past. Does not mean that he will be completely cured of them when he gets back. If a missionary cannot control himself while on the Mission with these opportunities, he is frankly doomed when he's back home where the opportunities and temptations will only increase. So to me it makes a lot of sense and there should not be a reason to be afraid of technology or to constantly be the voice of warning. I can already see how technology can help missionary work in so many ways and I am truly grateful for this opportunity to learn how to safeguard myself and to be apart of something that could only help and be of benefit to future generations and my own children someday." ~Elder Seth Foster, April 27, 2015, Weimar, Germany.
