a wonderful program that is helping a lot of people. It not only helps an individual prosper but it also strengthens the church in those countries where the receipents live. I hope we can all continue to contribute to this worthwhile cause.

Since I am strongly against illegal immigration donating to people that can make a place for themselves makes a lot of sense.

This program that was so inspired by a prophet of God shows the prophetic vision the prophets have. This is evidence enough to me (not that I need it) that Jesus Christ is in charge of the Church of Jesus Christ. It is so comforting to be led by men with vision, who can see things as they really are, not as the world wants things to be.

I knew from the beginning this amazing program for our foreign brothers/sisters that this was an inspired program from a prophet of God. I wanted to be a part of it and did not know how, but it came to fruition a year after it was announced. At the time, I wanted to go on a mission in the worst way. I was literally drawn to this program while doing post graduate studies at BYU. I inquired about it, then 6 months later, I felt an invisible pull into the David M. Kennedy building to tell them I wanted IN! They said I was an answer to prayer; 3 weeks later I was in Monterrey Mexico for a semester! The youth there are so deserving of the kinds of opportunities we have here and they dreamed about. I know the recipients will become not only Church leaders, but government leaders in lands where corruption prevails now. These potential leaders will bring their education and wisdom to overshadow the past with their righteous endeavors and overcome the evil and corruption. God bless this program to accomplish the good Pres. Hinckley foresaw.
