STAND A LITTLE TALLER


Sister Kimball shared a most amazing story that happened during a discussion with an 18 yr. old young women. " ...than another idea came into my head to tell her about the book,"STAND A LITTLE TALLER" by President Gordon B. Hinckley{a scripture and spiritual thought a day book). I asked if Sister Cullimore had one and she did!! She got it out and Ashley was flipping through it kind of carelessly. I asked her if she would read today's scripture so she did.NOW IT GETS WAY COOL!!!...Aty this point the spirit is strong in the room and than she reads 'January 29 in the book (with the page title MIRACLE OF CONVERSION) '. The scripture reads,'And according to this faith was a mighty change wrought in his heart.'(Alma 5:12) President Hinckley than wrote'There is no miracle of conversion. It is the great process by which those with resposive hearts listen to the teachings and testimonies of missionaries and change their lives, leaving the past behind them, and moving forward into a new life. There is no miracle quite like it in all the world.' After she read that we all just started crying and laughingand stunned. We sat there for the longest time not saying a word. The spirit was incredibly strong. She was in shock;we all were...she was so happy. She said,'I'll never forget this moment.' She just radiated!..It's miraculous to see lives change!..."
