This picture is of Apostle Stapley, who is dead now, but who turned my life around. After trying for another child for 8 years when Pam was 2, my sister-in-law's mother, Mrs James, who lived down the street from the Stapleys ask me if I would like a blessing from the apostle.....oh yes! I told him my frustration and longing for another baby, well, he gave me a beautiful blessing. In about two months I became pregnant......with twins. I got toxic poisoning and they had to start me a month early, the morning they started my labor he came into the Holy Cross Hospital, put his hands on my head and ask God to bless the babies and I to come through the ordeal and regain our good health. This did happen..... I guess you would say this is when my testimony of the power of the priesthood grew stronger. The twins were a month early, Sherrie weighed 3lbs 13 oz and Karrie weighed 4lbs 5 oz, they were in incubators for a couple of weeks, but were always strong healthy babies. When Sherrie and Darren were down on Temple Square last week they took this picture for me.....It is special to me.
