Here's an email we received from a senior missionary who is serving in the office of John Gregory's mission. It was very kind of her to share this moment with us.
Hello Bro. and Sis. Sierra,
Today I had the great
privilege of accompanying Elder Sierra on piano while he sang I Wonder
As I Wonder for 4 zones of wonderful missionaries in the "Mormon
Center", a chapel next to the Temple utilized for special occasions. The
missionaries attended the Temple as part of this special day.
Elder Sierra's song was the last musical number on
the program, just before the prayer. First there were a variety of
musical presentations, the reading of the Christmas story from the
scriptures with missionaries in beautiful costumes, short Christmas
videos, and talks by missionaries and Pres. & Sis. Lewis.
Before he sang, Elder Sierra spoke to the
missionaries about imagining themselves in the place of the person
singing the message, promised them they would be blessed for doing so.
Then he sang to a captive group of missionaries, many of whom had tears
in their eyes and on their faces before he finished. It was a sacred
moment for us all.
All is well in Zion for one more day. That young man shows a lot of promise ahead of him.
Love,
Sis. Richardson
