Dear President Bailey,

I would like to tell you, the missionaries set the greatest example to me. I am only 16 years old but so desperately want to serve a mission. I attended the Youth MTC and when you said "Do you think we have enough faith to make the rain stop?" You then said a prayer to strop it and it did. That miracle was the greatest experience and built me up so much. I was at upstate NY, and my friend and I were planning to go to the Sacred Grove but it was pouring rain and we were in the bus, so I thought of what you said and asked in a prayer using the same words that you did. Five minutes later, the rain completely stopped and I knew then that the Lord does listen to our prayers if our desires are right. All the youth in all the buses were then able to walk through the Sacred Grove. As soon as we boarded the buses, it began to pour all again.

Your words helped me build my testimony, and my faith helped build the testimonies of all the other youth on that tour. The youth at both places, were so surprised and bore their testimonies saying things like "I honestly believe the church is true now more than ever before." I believe the Lord listened to us and loves us. All I want to say is thank you. Your friend.

NOTE: His mother advised that Gabriel's show of faith so touched all the other youth from Pennsylvania, NYC and upstate New York, that he has received many letters from them recognizing his great faith.
