Never Give Up



We have one of the most fabulous institute teachers in our stake here. Really ! Every Wed. night I can count on the fact that If we can get them there they will have a memorable spiritual experience. and every student feels the love the Goddard's have for them. We are so fortunate to have them.



We have made 11 visits to one of our young adults, and maybe met with him 3-4 times for short visits. We asked him out to lunch before Christmas and he said yes after finals. When we would call back we couldn't get a hold of him. Where he worked he didn't work there anymore. We felt we were being dodged. Elder Wall was especially sad because he felt strongly about this young man. Remember the"goose attack" that was the young mans home, since then they had a special connection. Well this week I said try one more time and he did and we got a lunch date. Wow What a wonderful young man we took to lunch. He has a strong testimony and recognizes the importance of the holy ghost in our lives. He said our call was an answer to his prayer. Did I tell you how much I love this work! We are looking forward to many more lunches with him and spending time feeling of his great spirit.
