Dear Family,
Happy Birthday to Mom. Tuesday Mom became one year older. Vanessa invited her for lunch to celebrate. Our temple assignment was cancelled due to a power outage, so we had a little vacation and were able to stay at Kulka’s longer ; we talked and played games... Also, it finally rained enough to fill the pond behind our home and it is beautiful again. Mom’s says it was a birthday gift from heaven; her heart was gladdened. Thanks to Heavenly Father for another tender mercy.
Sorenson USMC - Dad enjoyed reading Uncle Nile’s book about his experiences which took him to San Diego, Iwo Jima, Sasebo, Nagasaki Japan and back home to Idaho again. It was wonderful to experience this witness of this part of World War II through his eyes and heart. Thank you Uncle Nile - your sacrifice is a priceless gift.
Tyler’s Tragedy - Tyler is recoverying well after his spleen was seriously damaged. This week we learned how severly he was hurt. It was a life threatening injury, which had the potential to have caused him to internally bleed to death, specially since he went home the evening it happened and to school the next day, where he went to gym and even ran. Surgeons were ready to remove the spleen in order to save his life, if necessary. But through his living the “Word of Wisdom” and caring for his body, and the power of the Priesthood, his body is repairing the damage and he is doing well. All the surgeons at Henry Ford - Macomb Hospital all know the Miracle Football Player named Tyler. Once again the Lord has shown mercy, answered prayers and blessed our family. Thankfully, the only tragedy is Tyler will miss the football season this year.
Brazil Bound - Mom has been busily engaged in preparation for her visit to her family. She has hugs and kisses to give and gifts to offer our Brazilian Family. Dad has also been involved in the preparations by producing a couple of short “movies” at her request, showing the “Northward” side of family. We all hope and pray this journey will go well and will be successful expressing our love for them by providing a connection to our family “Southward”.
General Conference - Once again the Lord has reached out and invited all of us to come unto him. We are grateful for the inspiring, uplifting and edifying messages from the Lord through His servants. Now we just need to do it!
Love y’all,
Mom & Dad
