Reed Journal Entry:
Date: June 6, 2010
Fall 2009 - My dog Missy got out of our yard, which is kind of scary because we live by a busy highway and I didn’t want her to get lost or hurt, so I ran after her. I finally caught her by one of the neighbors house (Dallin Kemp). Missy pulled away from me and got away again! I was sad because it was by the “dangerous road”. So I knelt down and said a prayer. Right after I was done praying then Dallin (17 year old priest in the Ward) came out of his house and ran after Missy and caught her. I saw him coming with Missy and he walked Missy home with me. I told him thank-you. Once I put her back in the kennel, then I went inside into my room and said a prayer to Heavenly Father and said thank-you for answering my prayer.
The following was added by my Dad:
June 6, 2010 – I was sitting on a seat in the chapel today, following sacrament meeting, waiting to talk to a few quorum members. Dallin Kemp made it a point to come sit by me and share with me this experience from his perspective. Dallin asked if I remember the time last fall that he helped catch our dog. He then told me that he looked out his window and saw the dog get away from Reed. He then saw Reed get on his knees and say a prayer. Dallin, with tears in his eyes, expressed his appreciation for Reed and being such a great example to him! I also truly shared my appreciation for him and the example that he sets for the youth of the ward. I am so grateful for Reed and his example and his testimony of prayer. I love you Reed and am so proud of you for relying upon your Heavenly Father.
