In Episode 2 of From the Journal of Charles F. Zitting, we continue reading from his self-written autobiography and get a deeper look into his early years growing up in the LDS Church.
In this chapter, Charles shares stories from his childhood—including the pranks he played, the mistakes he made, and the lessons that shaped him. He also talks about becoming a deacon in the Mormon church and the importance of his faith.
As we read his words, we pause to share our own experiences and perspective—what it’s like growing up in Mormon and fundamentalist Mormon environments, how similar patterns show up, and how these early teachings can impact a person’s life.
This episode offers a more personal and relatable side of his story, showing that even within a strict religious structure, there were moments of humor, growth, and reflection.
If you’re interested in:
Mormon upbringing and early priesthood roles
LDS teachings and youth expectations
Real-life stories from inside Mormon and FLDS communities
Personal journals and firsthand accounts
This series gives you a rare, inside perspective—told entirely in his own words.
Follow along as we continue through the life of Charles F. Zitting, one chapter at a time.
