Missionary Moment update...

Greg and the boys got back on Saturday the 22.  Greg talked a little bit with a guy at the hotel, but they were not able to place the Book of Mormon.  We will continue to pray for someone who is open to hear the Gospel.
However, the guys did have a somewhat spiritual moment.   We almost died!!! - payton
Going 65mph on the 2-lane highway, an oncoming car veered fully into their lane.  Greg swerved off the road in the crucial seconds it would have taken for them all to be killed.  Greg said the guy driving the other vehicle was looking right at them.  Jeff, the brother-in-law of Brian Ellis, happened to be riding with Greg at the time and also happens to be a policeman.  He was sure the other driver was impaired. (Under the influence of drugs or alcohol).
Greg did not over-correct and was able to get the car back on the road safely.  However, he was very shaken by the experience and it took a while for him to relax behind the wheel after that.  We all believe that Greg and the boys were blessed.  The Lord was watching over them.   We know this to be true because Nick, Brooks and I prayed for Greg and the boys to be safe every night.  We prayed that they would drive safely to and from So. Dakota, and that they would be safe while hunting.
We are so thankful for our Father in Heaven and His Son, Jesus Christ.  We know Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers.
