My name is Joey, and I'm from Alaska.
Two big things happened to me last year.
One was being baptized a member of The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints and receiving
the gift of the Holy Ghost.
The other was becoming a Cub Scout.
A Cub Scout promises to always help other people.
One night I was able to use the Holy Ghost to help my family.
My dad was still at work when I heard a loud hissing
noise from our furnace room.
The still, small voice of the Holy Ghost
told me I should tell my mom about it right away.
She listened to me and discovered a gas leak
near the furnace.
She told my brothers, sisters, and me
to leave our house quickly and to get in the car.
Just as we jumped in the car and drove off our driveway,
our house exploded and then caught on fire.
But because I listened to the Holy Ghost,
I helped save my family.
My dad was very grateful when he came home and saw
our whole family safe and sound.
I am thankful I could help my family because I
listened to the Holy Ghost.
I am Joey, and I am one in a million.
