"Your Thanksgiving holiday message came at the perfect time for me -- I was going through another rough spell with my rheumatism and your video again reminded me that I can do this. You are so right that it is the lack of hope that gets to us, not the disease. Thank you for reminding me yet again to stay positive and focused on the things that matter most in our lives. I can't think of anyone more deserving of a Spirit Award than you! Your spirit has touched so many lives in so many ways and through your struggles with MS you've touched my life in the most profound way. You truly are an inspiration to me as someone living with a disease and turning it into a blessing. I try everyday to follow your example and not let my rheumatism bring me down but to use the experience to make myself a better person. " Thank you for attending and taking part in the Millennial Jamboral in Fillmore in August. The Jamboral was a great success and your participation helped us to achieve that success. Thank you again for sharing your time and talents with the boys and leaders of the Utah National parks Council. Just wanted to say thanks for the wonderful participation of you and your boys at our recent First Night celebration. Your willingness to volunteer at the last minute to say a few words and then to share a musical number made all the difference in the evening. I have heard Alan Osmond speak on more than one occation, and I am impressed with his ability to connect with his audience. Alan has a gift for speaking that appears to come naturally--no doubt due in part to his well-hones skills as a career entertainer. He has stage presence, charisma, and character. But above all, he has a profound sincerity that touches his listeners and communicates heart to heart. Alan's words not only captivated the room, his devotion, determination and drive was tranferred to many who sat before him. He is articulateand moving in his manner of speech and he had 1500 guests sitting on the edge of their seats. I was overwhelmed by the emotion he experssed while driving home the criticality of finding a cure for multiple sclerosis. His words came from his heart and were spoken like a master orator. Alan is engaging and vibrant. I have seem him captivate both local and international audiences with experience, wit, and emotion. He has a spirit about him that brings peace to one's heart. He is a gentle man with strong convictions, a combination of qualities that elicits trust in audiences.
