    I was in, I believe a BYU Education Week class, many years ago where Ann introduced a young woman by the name of Julie. She ask her if she
    would share how she prayed. I go into a quiet room and kneel down and I wait. When the spirit is right I say, Dear Heavenly Father, it’s Julie.
    The he says, hello Julie….and talks to me.

    I’ve looked for that beautiful experience and story on the internet and can not find it. Please send me the reference if you have it to:
    Eleanor Johnson elliejohn@yahoo.com or text me at 702-335-0045. Text is the best method to reach me.
    Thank you so very, very much.
