Prayer and corn corn corn

These are the Russell's.  We go together to the Galesburg Ward for church. 
They go home in a couple weeks.  They have served a mission in Africa, 
and when they get home will again put in their papers to go back to Africa.

The Dobson's from Abingdon, Illinois have had us over for dinner after church a couple of times. 
These are really sweet people.  Brother Dobson is a really great High Priest Group Leader.
  Sister Dobson let's Sister Thompson teach her Primary class occasionally.  
That makes her really happy!
So basically, this is the view from the car no matter which direction you drive. 
Corn. Lots of corn.  And some soybeans, but mostly corn.
Both sides of the road.
Every field is filled with corn.
And yes, it is delish!!!
 
More amazing sunsets.  

Our testimony that Heavenly Father answers our prayers has increased while on our mission.  
He is always there for us.  He wants what is best for us and for each situation.  He is in charge. 
 This has been shown to us over and over again in the temple. 
 Things always seem to work out perfectly.  
It is overwhelming at times to know, that every need is filled by Him.

"The first and middle and the last thing to do is Pray."  --Henry B Eyring

"Pray often.  Pray in your mind, in your heart.  Pray on your knees.
Prayer is your personal key to heaven." -- Boyd K Packer
