From the Millard County Chronicle, July 26th 1979

For Bethany Buck
by Grandma Sarah Inez Moody

I was sitting on God's knee. And, He was telling me about the beauties of a life on Earth despite its trials and tribulations. He asked me did I want to go to Earth and I answered, "yes, oh, yes." And I continued that I would like to go to Earth on July 11th, 1979.

"And, my child, who would you like for your parents?", He asked me.

Now that is a big question. I pondered that one, for Earth parents have much to do with one's returning to our Heavenly Father. And I looked Earth over carefully.

And I looked and looked. Earth is filled with many people, some of whom would make excellent parents. But, I wanted the very best. God gave me a few hours in which to continue looking at Earth.

And, finally. Finally, I saw this marvelous Earth Family in Orem, Utah. And I watched them for several more hours. I saw this very handsome Earth Father who works hard to provide. I saw this beautiful Earth Mother who also works hard to keep the Earth Home going smoothly. And I saw six happy and beautiful Earth Children. There was Kimberly, Arienne, and Tamara. Just beautiful Earth Children. Then I looked a little closer and saw Joshua, Zackary, and Gabriel. And they were happy Earth Children, also. As I continued to watch this Earth Family, I saw all of them getting into their best clothes and going to church. I saw how well behaved they were in His Church and came to my decision.

"I want to belong to that Earth Family, Dear Heavenly Father. I want that Family."

And God honored my decision.
