  "Count Your Many Blessings, Name Them One By One.  Count Your Many Blessings, See What God Has Done. "   April 19-May 3                             The "Magic Tree" we see traveling to and from our home each day. We are grateful for our eyesight :  We have been told, "it takes a village to raise a child." Who knew it would take a village to help Geoffrey be able to listen to the Book of Mormon on CD's.  We first came up with this idea when we arrived in September and met Geoffrey.  Due to an accident he is blind and cannot read the Book of Mormon for himself, but he is a faithful, worthy member of the Church of Jesus Christ and desires to learn and live the gospel.  We reached out to people we knew in the states and the former missionary couple who served in Gulu who was able to get a hold of the Triple Combination scriptures as well as the New Testament on CD.

March 16-April 1 No foolin' Reading the Book of Mormon with Geoffrey Great news!! We went to see Geoffrey and all of the boys are in school.  We are so happy.  They will finally be able to learn and progress.  Prayers are answered, God is mindful of all of His children. This presented an opportunity for us to take time reading the Book of Mormon with Geoffrey and his oldest nephew Steven.  We are finding that the members here do not read and study the Book of Mormon very much.  As we read and study with Geoffrey and Steven their eyes are opened and they feel the Spirit. Steven told us that we can come back any time to read more with them.  On a side note, Elder Kaiser reached out to a missionary coming to Uganda from America.  At Elder Kaiser's request he brought a CD player for Geoffrey so he can listen to the Book of Mormon on CDs.  The problem is that he took it with him to his assigned area which is as far south and we are as far North in the ...
