Get Well, Greg

This is my brother Greg being baptized, last year, by my Dad for the second time in his life. I am so proud of him and the choices he made that brought him back into the church. His life was full of trials and tribulations, of which he has concluded to seek the Lord and be faithful to his beliefs. After making that decision to turn his life around, he was able to go to Fiji to see my parents on their mission and have my dad bring him back into the fullness of the gospel through baptism. My brother is now facing a physical trial as he suffered a serious eye infection, which led to an ulcer and eventually to no vision in one of his eyes. The doctor tells him as the ulcer heals, it is looking like he will need a cornea transplant before he will be able to see with that eye. My dad asked my family to come together to fast for him to heal well and quickly. In return to this request, Greg said, "I appreciate your prayers. I am a big believer in the prayers of the many can do miracles. And I believe in miracles. I am here, alive and back in the church. That is a pretty nice miracle in and of itself. "
My thoughts and prayers are with my brother at this time. I am so thankful for the love he gives me and the example he is. He's a wonderful man that truly believes in the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I am thankful for families and for the power of prayer. I love you Greg.
