It was another great week, filled with more
great stories and miracles but today I just want to talk about this incredible
group and the experience Elder Morton and I were blessed with to have with them
this week.
This is (From left to right) Carl, Ray,
Bill, Kim, Scott, Renee, Gary, Ronald, Chris, Elder Morton, Robby, Elder Ricks
(That's me..).
The last two and a half months we have been
able to go over to this incredible place called the Oklahoma Foundation for the
Disabled (OKFD). Each Wednesday we would come and teach each of these
beautiful, wonderful, talented children of God how to run and throw for the
Special Olympics. They asked us to come and so we got approval and met them at
the big event this week to get each of them ready and excited, cheer like mad,
and celebrate their great effort and success! Every single one of them did
incredible! Overall, our dear friends took first or second place in everything
they did! How crazy is that?! We didn't even have to train them, they came as
natural winners!
When we walked into the stadium there was
such a special, irreplaceable spirit of love and joy that could be felt that I
will never forget. What a special day for me. I am so grateful to have been
apart of it!
May we all be able to have and then to
share the love and joy that each of my friends here radiate. It is my prayer
that God will bless each of us with this pure love this week.
Keep the faith,
Elder Ricks
