Elder Pulley did not
have time this week to write for his blog this week. However, I would
like to share a bit of the email he sent to us.
Gavin, my classmate, became
my friend while I was in Government class (in high school). We had
quite a few fun disagreements, debates and such (you know how I am), and we
talked about the church as well. Both Brenna and I sat next to him, and he
seemed a little curious in the church, but I never thought much of it. In spite
of the fact I liked his personality, he had a little problem with some items
from the word of wisdom.
I haven't thought
about that kid for about a year, until this last week he popped into my mind
out of nowhere. As I thought of him, and another tablemate of mine in that
class (who I shared a Book of Mormon with) I was hoping that they were doing
okay and would eventually have the opportunity to accept the gospel. Well,
Brenna emailed me earlier, and it turns out that Gavin was baptized last
Saturday. As I write this, I cannot help but feel such immense gratitude and
awe that I had the opportunity to sit next to Gavin. I would never say that I
am the reason he was baptized, but I know I was placed next to him for a
reason, and that I was able to help in a small way, in getting him into the
church.
I am thankful beyond
measure for this miracle, and the opportunity I had too to hear about his
baptism...
Note: You never
know what influence you have on other people as you go throughout everyday
life.
I hope you all have
wonderful week - Elder Pulley's mom.
