I will verify that this is TRUE. I did a google search, thinking there can not be too many men named Billy Sam Elliott who were from Hopkins County. Well, sure enough, he lives in Texas, and it was not too difficult to get his phone number. I spoke to him and he told me he was amazed at how many emails he has gotten from that. He sent the letter to one person and it has gone around the world. Yes, Celeste the missionary is related to him through marriage and they correspond by email. She actually did send him the email that is now travelling the world, and she has been in Kenya all those years. She is very concerned that people know the truth about Obama and his family back home in Kenya, who are troublemakers.
 
I thanked him for returning my call, and assured him that we will pray for Celeste and Loren, and to please let her know that. I told him we will get the word out, now that it is confirmed this is a true story, and that we as representatives of Jesus Christ do not want to be guilty of forwarding something that is simply an internet rumor. Go ahead and forward this one folks.
