SALT LAKE CITY -- Two missionaries serving for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Romania have died.

One of the missionaries was from Utah.

According to the Church, Elder McKay Choy Burrows, 20, of Highland and Elder Jace Davis of Logandale, Nev., passed away in their Bucharest apartment overnight from apparent accidental natural gas asphyxiation.

Church leaders have notified the families of the missionaries.

In a statement, Church leaders said, "We extend our love and sympathy to the elders' families and friends. We pray that the Spirit of the Lord will bring them peace and comfort at this difficult time."

AMERICAN FORK -- Funeral services were held Monday afternoon for a Highland man who died while serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

The Alpine Tabernacle in American Fork was filled to capacity as the services were held for Elder McKay Choy Burrows, who died while serving a mission in Romania.

Family members and many friends of Elder Burrows, who had served as a missionary in the Romania Bucharest mission, gathered Monday afternoon for the 90-minute service.

The 20-year-old LDS missionary, along with his companion, Elder Jace Davis, both succumbed from accidental asphyxiation on Jan. 29. It was caused by a leak of natural gas inside their apartment in Romania.

Elder Burrows grew up in nearby Highland, Utah. He was an honor student at Lone Peak High School and had attended BYU on a scholarship. He was remembered Monday as an accomplished musician who loved writing, drawing and sports and had a life-long goal of serving a mission.

Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints represented Church leaders at the service. He offered condolences to the family, reading a letter on behalf of the First Presidency.

Services were also held Monday in Logandale, Nev., for Elder Davis, which was attended by Elder Quinton L. Cook of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles.

The funeral procession went from the Tabernacle to a brief graveside service at the Highland Cemetery, where Elder Burrows will be buried.

Why do we need to pray?

Prayer is one of the very basic beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints because it's how we communicate with God but why is it so important? Why do we need to pray? Share your answer with us and your reply will be posted here for others to read.

To Be One

Heavenly Father wants us to be one with our family. By praying to Him for them, we show Heavenly Father how we share His love for us, and that we want to be united with them as He is with Jesus Christ.

We Can't Do It Alone

God knows all your needs, but you still have to pray regularly. You alone can't fight and win over Satan. Your strength is not sufficient without the help from God.

How to Pray?

Prayer is a very important and vital belief of Latter-day Saints because it is how we communicate with God and how he sometimes communicates with us.

A prayer has four simple steps: Address God, Thank Him, Ask Him, and Close in the Name of Jesus Christ. Also, prayer can be said in one's mind or out loud. I personally find that praying out loud makes it easier for me to focus my thoughts on what I'm saying.

After reading this article share your answer to this question with us: Why do we need to pray?

Address God:

We open the prayer by addressing God because he is the one we are praying to. Start by saying "Father in Heaven" or "Heavenly Father." We address Him as our Heavenly Father because He is the father of our spirits, He is our creator and the one to whom we owe everything we have, including our lives.

Thank Him:

After opening the prayer we tell our Father in Heaven what we are thankful for. You can start by saying, "I thank thee..." or "I am grateful for...." We show our gratitude to our Father by telling him in our prayer what we are thankful for such as our home, family, health, the earth, and other blessings.

Ask Him:

After thanking our Father in Heaven we can ask him for help. Some of the ways you can do this is to say:

• "I ask thee..."
• "I need..."
• "Please help me..."

We can ask him to bless us with the things we need, such as knowledge, comfort, guidance, peace, health, etc.

Close in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen:

We close the prayer by saying, "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen." We do this because Jesus is our Savior, our mediator between death (physical and spiritual) and eternal life. Christ is the one who suffered and died for us that we may be able to return again to our Father's presence and He is the one we are commanded to have faith in. The Apostle John taught:

"And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

"If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." (John 14: 13-14).

We also close with saying Amen because it means we accept or agree with what's been said.

Praying in a Group:

When praying with a group of people only the person saying the prayer speaks. The person praying should say the prayer in the plural such as, "We thank thee," and "We ask thee." At the end when the person says amen the rest of the group says amen as well. This shows our agreement or acceptance of what they have prayed for.

Pray Always:

In the Book of Mormon Christ taught the people to pray always. He said:

"Behold, verily, verily, I say unto you, ye must watch and pray always lest ye enter into temptation; for Satan desireth to have you, that he may sift you as wheat.

"Therefore ye must always pray unto the Father in my name;

"And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right, believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be given unto you.

"Pray in your families unto the Father, always in my name" (3 Nephi 18:18-21).

Pray with Sincerity:

We also believe it is important that we pray with sincerity, meaning we think about what we're saying instead of vain repetition. In Matthew 6:7 it says, "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking."

Pray with Faith in Christ:

It says in James 1:5-6, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." Praying in faith means having faith in Jesus Christ.

Pray with Real Intent:

Praying with real intent means that we are willing to do God's will. If we're asking for God's help, but we're not willing to do our part, our prayer will be in vain. In the Book of Mormon the prophet Moroni taught, "And likewise also is it counted evil unto a man, if he shall pray and not with real intent of heart; yea, and it profiteth him nothing, for God receiveth none such" (Moroni 7:9).

"I believe that one of the most important things we should pray for is to know the truth about God and his plan for us. Prayers can be answered in multiple ways, sometimes as feelings (through the Holy Ghost) or thoughts that come into our minds. Sometimes feelings of peace or warmth enter our hearts as we read the scriptures. Events we experience can also be answers to our prayers. Preparing ourselves for personal revelation will also help us in receiving answers to prayers.

I know God loves us and is our Father in Heaven. I have prayed and received an answer that I cannot deny the truth of his existence and love for each one of us. I know he hears and answers our prayers. I share this with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

Mission

What is an LDS Mission?:

Serving a mission in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints usually means dedicating a specific amount of time preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. Most LDS missions are proselyting missions, but there are many other ways one can serve as a missionary including at a temple, visitor centers, historic sites, humanitarian, education and training, employment, and health care mission.

Missionaries always work together in pairs (called a companionship) and follow specific mission rules and guidelines. Men that serve an LDS mission are called by the title, "Elder" and women are called, "Sisters."

Why Serve an LDS Mission?:

Preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ is the responsibility of all followers of Christ and is a specific duty for men who hold the priesthood. Just as Christ sent his disciples to share His message while He was on the earth, the Savior continues to send messengers to teach His truth as missionaries. Missionaries are special witnesses of Jesus Christ and have an important message to share with those who will open their hearts and listen.
"Behold, I sent you out to testify and warn the people, and it becometh every man who hath been warned to warn his neighbor" (D&C 88:81).

Who Goes on an LDS Mission?:

It is a duty for young men, ages 19-27 who are able, to serve as full-time missionaries. Single women, ages 21+, and older married couples also have the opportunity to serve a part or full-time LDS mission.

Missionaries must be physically, spiritually, mentally, and emotionally able to serve a mission. When applying for a mission the person first meets with their bishop and then the stake president before submitting their paperwork. Once a missionary is serving "in the field" he/she will work under a mission president. For those preparing to serve here are 10 practical ways to prepare for a mission.

How Long is an LDS Mission?:

A full-time mission is served by young men for 24 months and by young women for 18 months. Older single women and couples can serve a full-time mission from 12-24 months. Couple missionaries who serve as the President and Matron of a mission serve for 36 months. Part-time LDS missions are served locally.

A full-time mission is served 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Missionaries have one day of preparation (called "P-day") reserved for non-missionary duties such as laundry, cleaning, and writing letters/emails home. Missionaries usually only call home for Mother's Day, Christmas, and rare/unusual circumstances.

Who Pays for the Mission?:

Missionaries themselves pay for their missions. The Church of Jesus Christ has specified a specific amount of money that all missionaries, from a specific country, must pay per month for their mission. Money is submitted to the general mission fund and is then dispersed to each individual mission, including the Missionary Training Center. Each mission then disperses a specific monthly allowance to each of its missionaries.

Although missionaries pay for their own mission, family members, friends, and on occasion local ward members, also help contribute funds to a missionary's mission.

Where in the World are They?:

Missionaries are sent throughout all the world. In 2008, there were over 50,000 missionaries actively serving in over 348 missions worldwide. Before being sent to their mission a new missionary attends the Missionary Training Center (MTC) assigned to their region. Missionaries usually spend 3 weeks at the MTC, or 9 weeks when learning a second language. At Mission.net you can see where there are LDS missions in over 160 nations.

What Do Missionaries Teach?:

Missionaries teach the gospel of Jesus Christ, including our belief in the following:

• God, the Eternal Father
• Jesus Christ
• Holy Ghost
• Restoration of Christ's Church
• Joseph Smith
• The Book of Mormon
• How to Know the Truth
• Repentance
• Baptism
• How to Pray
• God's Plan of Salvation

What else do missionaries do? Find out about the life of a missionary including who they teach, who they work under, and what they invite others to do.

How to Be Taught by the Missionaries:

You can request a visit by LDS missionaries who will schedule a time to meet with you. If you'd like to learn more but aren't interested in a missionary visit you can do any of the following:

• Read or subscribe to the LDS Church
• Chat with a missionary live
• Request a free Book of Mormon or other media
• Worship with us

Serving an LDS mission is an amazing experience! If you meet a Mormon missionary or know someone who has served an LDS mission (called a returned missionary or "RM") feel free to ask them about their mission. RM's usually love to talk about their experiences as a missionary and are willing to answer any questions you may have.

Helping Haiti One By One

‘Mormons’ and ‘Service’ are synonymous. When tragedy strikes, no matter when or where, you can bet a group of Mormons will be on the next plane bringing truckloads of blankets, sanitation kits, food, clothing, medical supplies and volunteers. Local Mormon leaders, missionaries and congregations will be coordinating the efforts, and the local Mormon churches will immediately become a designated shelter.

"Helping Hands"

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is hailed as having one of the best organized Humanitarian Aid Services in the world. But Latter-day Saints don’t wish to trump their own horn. They desire to serve quickly, quietly and efficiently. They strive to follow the example of Jesus, taking care of His children “one by one“.
