Cool People and Spiritual Moments

Recently we had the cool experience of meeting the one and only...



JJ!

Yeah, he's a big guy, I know!

When we first met him we were walking down the street

and he called us over from his car,

a Crown Victoria that was lifted and had 24 inch rims.

You can imagine how excited we were to get over there!

From then, for the next few weeks, he brought us out to dinner

and even went with us to visit someone we knew in the hospital!

Why is he here in New York?

He's an NFL football player who plays for the Buffalo Bills.

In his free time, the one day a week, he comes out with us.

We asked him why?

Because he wants his family at home to be blessed.

Who, pretty soon, is going to be sealed to him for all time and eternity.

Here's a man who is living a lifestyle that many American's dream of

and who's most important part of life is his family and religion.

Last night he met us in Palmyra on the temple grounds.

 
 
He quickly took out his phone and took pictures of the temple while there was still sunlight.
 
We then took the time to walk through the sacred grove.
 
As we walked in he said,
 
"I know you guys get to come here all the time, but it really feels special here."
 
The gospel of Jesus Christ truly is restored on the earth today.
 
And I can testify, along with JJ,
 
that Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ in that grove.
 
No matter what lifestyle we live
 
we can find happiness in the comfort of our families,
 
in the comfort of the scriptures,
 
and especially in the comfort of our Savior Jesus Christ.
 

JJ is a man who knows who his savior is.
 
And you can tell by how happy he is.
 
Seek Happiness!!!
 
 
Christ is at the head of His church on the earth today.
 
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
