Acknowledgments

Pope Francis,
I thank the Pope for appreciating my devoted sentiments,
remembering me in his prayer, invoking God’s blessings of joy and
peace in my family, and sharing, “With every good wish, I am.”

Bishop Brian Nunes,
I thank Bishop Brian for his incredible support. He
generously extended his time and wisdom, meeting me for lunch
and responding to my emails over the course of three years. His
kind spirit and compassionate nature gave me a safe space to
discuss many topics, including BFG. Bishop Brian's encouragement
and steadfast faith in me have been invaluable, and I deeply
appreciate his patience and willingness to listen attentively. I am
thankful for his contributions, which have left an indelible
impression on me.

Fr. John Tran,
I want to thank Fr. John for helping me connect with Dr.
Michael Downey at St. John’s Seminary. When he learned that I
was in a public speaking organization, I was stunned that he
decided to join me. A few days prior, I made a request to God for a
priest to join the organization, and miraculously, my wish was
granted. His feedback was particularly impactful when he
commented that I spoke with great conviction. Today, his comment
continues to resonate with me whenever I prepare to speak
publicly.
