waiting for wife and children.
I am a stranger in a new ward.
A gentleman sits down next to me appearing to be sad about something. In his 50s. We ignored each other.
He was approached by an older woman and she asked why no one had seen the man's daughter at church in a while.
He said something like....
She has been having an awful time with all this "stuff".
Her response - yes..it's going around. I am so sorry.
At first I thought that everyone was sick but as they continued to talk about placing her name on the prayer roll at the temple I realized that they were talking about the essays.
The father was almost in tears as he talked about how much they have been praying for her to feel the spirit again.
It is strange to read about the essays on this board and other places online and then to hear the effect they are having on actual mormon human types in the real world.
