Abstract
Over six feet tall at age fifteen and professional basketball in his sights, Ricky Stafford was finding his mojo as a freshman in high school when his world seemed to shatter overnight. Suddenly diagnosed with leukemia, Ricky was admitted to Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City, Utah to start treatment. What started as a major setback turned into a gift when he opened the scriptures with real intent for the first time. Ricky grew up reading the Book of Mormon, and turned to it while he was in the hospital with leukemia at age fifteen.© 2024 Scripture Central: A Non-Profit Organization. All rights reserved.
