Letter received July 23 2009

Carson wrote the following letter to me and I thought I would share it. I don't think Carson knows that his Uncle Mike served one month of his mission with Bro. Groberg. in Argentina!

Mom,
Wow. Tonight was a night I'll never forget and I just wanted to share it w/ you a bit. We had a devotional in the conference center here at the MTC like we do every Tuesday. We heard rumblings that it was a very important person in the church so we showed up an hour early to see the legendary John Groberg!! He gave an amazing talk about missionary work. A great quote he said, "You'll leave an impression in every single thing you do, wether it be ill or good. What impression will you leave?" He said many other thing that touched me, but I don't have time to write it all.
I heard a story during out testimiony meeting from Elder Keeton that has me crying still. When he was 8 months old he went limp and became unresponsive. The paramedics tried but to no avail. His Dad was gone @ work and being the only members on hte island there was no one to give him a priesthood blessing. The helicopter picked him and his mother up and flew them to the hospital. His mother was in shambles. As they pulled him out of the helicopter he stopped breathing, then as they ran him into the hospital there standing in the waiting room were 2 men standing there with ties and name badges that bore the name of Christ. There in that waiting room they gave him the priesthood blessing his father couldn't give. They brought him back to life. These men had received a phone call that day that a member was in the hospital and they had a prompting to go see her. They found she had been released the day before, and they were leaving when he was rushed in.
Mom, I know that if I follow my Heavenly Fathers promptings this can be me. I'm participating in the greatest cause known to man and that exists on this earth. I love ya. Share this w/ the family. Love ya

Elder Campbell
