It's been such a blessing having you and your family in my life. You guys were such a strength for me during that year between coming home from my LDS mission and leaving to Utah.<br />I look forward to spending time with all of you in the spring for the next conference in Phoenix. These conferences are never long enough, but hopefully the next one lands on my spring break so I can spend more quality time with you guys. <br />I miss you all! Send my love and regards to the family, God bless :)Khaden Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661711723319440196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879529175176011077.post-91277867509366461542017-09-23T22:48:29.173-07:002017-09-23T22:48:29.173-07:00Khaden,

You have all been such a blessing to us as we have grown together. Your presence seems to linger in that spot. I always reflect on the day you first came to the river so willing to act in faith and see where it would take you. I felt impressed to read here and this glimpse into your heart has been a great strength and encouragement today as we consider the lessons and experiences we have been given to grow a heart that is like our Lord's. We sure love and miss you.

My heart just leaps for joy to witness how far you have progressed in such a young life, and how articulately you are able to express yourself. You honor your Heavenly Parents in your determination to follow Christ, but you also honor your earthly mother and father, who are blessed with the knowledge that they have a good boy for a son. I feel very deeply blessed to have encountered you and connected in this life. If I ever despair that we can actually pull this off (get the New Jerusalem, City of Peace of the ground) I have only to reread this blog post of yours and my hope is rekindled.Those of us who have been at this for many, many years and have nearly fainted from exhaustion and the loneliness of the journey are buoyed by your youth, enthusiasm and energy. Zion WILL come, because of good boys, who have become good men like you. I thank your mother, although I don't know her, for raising you to honor Jesus Christ in your daily walk. What a time to be alive! May God strengthen and bless you for what is coming, with love, Lynne McKinley.Lynne McKinleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03214443750817421904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-879529175176011077.post-56699286617102296702017-07-23T15:17:42.176-07:002017-07-23T15:17:42.176-07:00Khaden,

The experiences you have had are amazing and beautiful and confirms what I am realizing that no matter what we currently believe as truth, God will come down and meet each one of us where we are if we are seeking Him. He just cares that we love Him and have a relationship with Him. He will work out all the rest in time because we have given our lives to Him.<br />We Love you Khaden!<br />Jolene and FamilyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07010186454915660498noreply@blogger.com
