Hey Guys. Thanks so much for all of your wonderful comments about my family’s letter-from-Scotty experience. In case you are interested–my mom was able to locate the EFY counselor who sent the letter and to email him to let him know what an unmatchable gift he had given us. His reply was wonderful… Here is …
