Addiction Recovery Program

We had two weeks of the Addiction Recovery Program where NO ONE came!! We were a little discouraged, however, we realize that we have to build the program from scratch and need to get people to trust us more...............
BUT.............last Thursday was a HUGE success!!! We had 7 people - The Elders came and brought a husband and wife they are teaching who are not yet members of the church teaching and then we had another young man and the Elders............One of the problems was alcohol for the one man - he had started drinking when he was 12 - his cousins tied him down and poured it down his throat - (can you believe?) and some other addictions.............It all went so well - the woman just began to cry in the sharing portion of the meeting and said how thankful she was that she had come to the meeting.............they both shared, tears were shed and a wonderful spirit filled the room. We are so grateful to be able to work with these humble, teachable people.
As we left we gazed at our beautiful sky here and said once again "Thank You Heavenly Father for letting us serve here at this time in our lives............."
