Some of you know about my dear friend, Pam and John. They have made so much progress in the Gospel. They are taking the temple lessons and are getting closer all the time to that goal. John was able to come to church today, he often misses because of his work. He was the first one up to the podium to share his testimony. He gave the sweetest most sincere thoughts. Among them was his promise to never deny his faith and how proud he was to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. He shared that his younger brother (Archie) was in prison for making and dealing drugs and would be please pray for him. He expressed excitment to be able to go to the temple soon. I'm just so happy for them. Through the atonement of Jesus Christ, people truly can be forgiven of their sins and change! It's so wonderful. We should always look at our "neighbors" as they might look in white. We are all God's children. I'm so thankful for this great missionary experience I was able to be part of. It's been one of the highlights of my life.
And ours...because you have shared with us.
They look radiant.
