"Before we started down the street to the first home, we stood together and said a prayer. I prayed the Lord would open doors for us that day, so we could teach people the gospel we loved. When I opened my eyes I saw a wonderful vision: I saw before me a large door and frame that covered the entire street we were about to tract.

As I continued to look, I saw this large door begin to open before me until it was fully open and the street was no longer blocked. "As...

In your letter, you said that the statue helped you and your companion work things out.” I nodded. “BFF. Right?” She leaned back in her chair, and looked at Sam. He put his hand on her knee and gently rubbed it. “You tell it.” “Okay.” She set the pile of cards down, and leaned back into her chair.

As often happens in life, tragedy is never far away, and there comes a time for others, for brothers, to finish the work that cannot be completed here on earth.
