Message from Sister Dee Key

"When I was in the MTC I came to KNOW that the Lord is with the young men and women attempting to learn completely new languages in such a short amount of time.  It was insane that they could be conversant before even leaving the MTC.  HOWEVER!!!!!!!!!!! The double language challenge for Seth, and the fact that he is doing well in both goes beyond the regular miracles I witnessed.  How can anyone DOUBT the Lord and His hand in this work?"
