Three cardiac arrests and a heart transplant
I recently was inspired by Clayton M. Christensen’s book, The Power of Everyday Missionaries.
To relate my humble experience of helping others, I have shared two truths over 150 times the past five months with people of all sizes, shapes, educational backgrounds, colors and beliefs. They are:
- We are all born.
- We all will die.
No one has disagreed with me so far, so I have shared my experience, which is also published on Mormon.org.
I had a heart transplant June 11, 2006. But leading up to the transplant, I went into cardiac arrest three times and had brief visits in the next world.
Want to read what I experienced? Read about it on my Mormon.org page.
Heavenly Father is far more forgiving, patient, kind and understanding for people of all beliefs, races and backgrounds than our finite minds and human hearts can conceive.
For us to feel His love depends on our efforts to follow the example Jesus Christ set while on this earth, and to do that the best we can, strengthened by His grace.

Hi Robert! Wow you’ve had quite a unique set of experiences. I read your mini bio on your Mormon.org page — so cool how much you’re competing in the World Transplant Games!
Thanks for boldly sharing what you have come to know. How can we help you? Are people receiving your testimony and meeting with teaching missionaries for lessons? Are you stuck anywhere with being a member missionary? What’s working and what’s not?
Your words are so enthusiastic, and I hear your urgency in wanting people to embrace Jesus Christ today and experience the peace He makes available. If this is your mission, we fully support it. Let us know what you need to fulfill your vision!
