| D2: "Yes, Tomas, this is D2. I want to say how much I appreciate being able to listen and that Gerdean is here to help take over [[TR]]ing [[duties]] once in a while. I [[appreciate]] your lesson this evening. The question that I have regarding it..it is quite evident that we need to individualize and [[concentrate]] on our own individual [[growth]] and trying to change ourselves, and in changing ourselves bring about [[change]] in the world. And while that is an everyday [[struggle]] that we all go through I guess I get concerned when I hear about things that are happening outside my own atmosphere in other parts of the world. I am just [[wondering]] if [[prayer]]..or what can we do as individuals to help in those things? Is prayer [[effective]] in that regard?" | | D2: "Yes, Tomas, this is D2.
