Ever since my father and mother got separated, my brother started not going to church. We were still young at that time. He was 15 and I am on my way to my freshmen in Highschool. I was 13 then, at that time. Ever since that time on, he started going out with friends outside the church. He went wild on the worldly matters. Going out with friends, drinking alcoholic drinks, smoking and many stuff that is not in accordance with the Church standards. He dropped out from school

Meanwhile, me and my sister stayed in the Church. The best thing we could do, is to invite him to church if he would like to go. he will just say, "yes" but eventually, will not finish the sunday service. He may be going to church but he feels like, it's a burden in his part. And so, we just leave him all alone. If he wanted to go to church with us it's fine, if not, it is stiill ok.

Just, as my birthday is approaching. My birthday week, he just texted me and told me that He wanted to go to church. I was so shocked. but on the other hand.. I really am very happy. He said that there are a lot of blessings that he neglected in the church.

That Sunday, April 4, 2009, just a day after my birthday, I picked up my brother to be sure that he will really go to church. He attended the priesthood, and sunday school class. During sacrament, after the passing of the sacrament, he whispered to me... " How can i renew my covenat?" I told him that he needs to talk to Bishop. and he needs to cut his hair.. And he said, that is not a problem.

im so happy for my brother. I hope things are for real now...

My 11 years of prayer has been answered....

The power of prayer in the Lord's time, it really pays off of what you really needed in life.
