Growing Moral and Ethical Leadership Around the World: Featuring Central, Ohio
In December 2019, the BYUMS Ohio chapter had the privilege of hearing from Raymond Weaver , owner of Weaver’s Farm & Furniture. He has 21 years of experience as a business owner and consultant. Speaking on “Weathering the Storm,” he highlighted sacrifices and lessons learned as a result of his conversion from the Amish faith, to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 2012.
Weaver knew that by joining the Church he risked losing everything he and his wife Laura had built to that point in their life together. The community they had been part of dissolved around them as they followed their decision in faith and began to rebuild a new life. “Looking back,” he reminisced, “this felt like a huge sacrifice. But the opportunities we have now far eclipse the difficulties we had to go through.” He encouraged those in attendance, "Don't let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." Learn more about Raymond Weaver and his family’s story here.

“Don’t worry about the level of individual prominence you have achieved; worry about the individuals you have helped become better people. This is my final recommendation: Think about the metric by which your life will be judged, and make a resolution to live every day so that in the end, your life will be judged a success.”
