Meeting Nick Vujicic- A Big Day!!!

May 7, 2009

We drove down to Salt Lake to the State Capital to see Nick speak. It was National Prayer Day, so there was a lot of prayers given but we really went to hear Nick speak. I am not sure that Kevin totally understood what a big deal it was to finally meet someone else who is like him. As a member of the family, it was amazing to meet him. We were able to meet and speak with Nick before the event started, and he was very cool. He signed some of his DVD's for Kevin, and he said a prayer with them, that was pretty cool to hear. He gave Marisa and Neil his phone number to be able to reach him with any questions. I think that will be very helpful in the future. It would have been nice to be able to have a little more one on one time with him to ask more personal questions. When he spoke, you could feel the love he has for the Lord. He is a member of a different church, but the underlaying message was the same.... GOD LOVES US!!! He is scheduled to speak again in Utah in Octoberish, he is going to be speaking at the LDS Conference Center, I hope that we will be able to meet him again and talk with him a little more. He was very cool, and he was awesome with Kevin. It was awesome to speak with him and to meet him.
