This is certainly a surprise to me, brothers and sisters. I pray for your faith and Christ to be with me. So I may be able to give you something that will be of benefit to you. Because I know it will be of the most benefit out of this. I have a testimony of this work. Only hope can live up to the teachings that I received. And go on and prepare.

myself or the blessings that are in store for me if I'll continue to strive to develop my character to a point where I can be used. I hope that we can catch the reason of our missions. Brother Hellman is so beautifully portrayed for us and get united in the way that he's read to us and working with the outside world.

It really makes me more conscious than ever of the need for leadership, to get behind our leaders. We might be able to have the way pointed, advance in, and pray for the spirit of the Lord to continue with us in this meeting. We might be able to retain and profit by the things we hear. I feel the giveaway at this time, but my heart is truly here.

With His people. I feel that it's the only way, the only place I ever want to be found. With His people. In the spirit of the Lord, be with us. And I do ask these things and pray for the blessings of the Lord to be with us. And I do it humbly in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
