God bless the USA. What an incredible experience. I came outside and found the Elders all saluting the flag and reciting the pledge of allegiance. Elder Fedotov in the light blue t-shirt is from Ukraine and you can see from his reaction that he didn't quite know how to react. It was very moving. It was a great way to end our day. I think all of us have really come to appreciate the freedoms that our country has offered us. The missionaries see everyday how the many years of Soviet rule have affected the people of this country and have developed such an appreciation for the men and women who have fought for our freedom and for all that it means in our lives. I don't think I have ever felt such gratitude for being an American on the 4th of July as I did today.
I love Elder Pearson's "last words" which were printed in our recent newsletter, "see you in the land of the free and the home of the brave."
