In the Pioneer Day Parade this year there was a very special entry. Over 2,000 young men in our area gathered together as an "Army of Helaman." This event showed spectators what the 2,000 stripling warriors from the Book of Mormon might have looked liked like. The boys marched with their staffs, sang We'll Bring the World his Truth and Called To Serve then shouted "We do not doubt!" The army of young men was followed by the full time missionaries in our area. I was moved to tears.
I am grateful that Matthew was able to participate with his Uncle John and cousin Bradley. (Josh dressed up for the picture, but wasn't able to march because he just had oral surgery) They were an inspiration of hope and faith to our whole community. I hope Matthew will always remember what it felt like to be a part of something so remarkable. You can read more about this event here.
