A young, 25-year-old Melbourne footy star, decided to give up his career, give up his $200000 salary and leave for Germany in July, where he has been a two-year ascetic for two years.
It was the famous Mormon religion that led the young athlete to make such a decision.
Some people pay attention to the doctrine of polygamy (which has been abolished, but some still do).
Some people pay attention to it by people who wear uniform clothes or even brand names on the street. I believe you can meet these people on the streets of Melbourne. Some of them can speak Chinese fluently.
And the young man in our news is himself a devout Christian.
But over the past few years, he has come into contact with Mormon and is deeply attracted to it.
The guy who used to be like this:
Now, he says going to Germany is the most important decision of his life: 'It's something that has been on my mind since last year, it has been one of the biggest decisions of my life,', he doesn't travel to Germany.
Mormons take a year or years to preach in another country, and they need to preach in that country's local language. And there is no pay for this missionary, all need to preach at his own expense.
Mormonism itself is very strict, has a variety of precepts, and values the family and the education of children.
Therefore, this young man, in fact, is going to Germany as a two-year ascetic.
After learning of his decision, their team's experience and coach were supportive of his decision.
After all, the choice is in the people's own hands, no one can say anything.
In this way, the 25-year-old young man gave up his career and devoted himself to his faith.
