Dear Family,
Knee-monia - David had an arthroscopic knee surgery to relieve the pain he has suffered with over the last few years. Hopefully, it will heal well and he will return to work on Monday. Meanwhile, Pedro Armando’s saga continues with waging war against the bacteria that likes to hang out in his artificial knee joint. He is in Sao Paulo for the next couple of months on an out-patient basis receiving treatment. We are very concerned about his well being.
Temple - Mom & Dad enjoyed serving in the baptistry this week. They were happy to start the work for a couple of Toye Stebar’s relatives, which made it an extra special evening.
Opportunity - Bishop called Dad to speak at a funeral on Thursday. Being retired presents some “interesting” opportunities to serve and feel the love of Heavenly Father as he comforts those who mourn. It turned out well and the family was pleased.
Mystery Island - Mom & Dad’s date night turned into experiencing Jules Verne “Journey 2 - Mystery Island” in IMAX 3D in the afternoon and a yummy steak and shrimp dinner in the evening at Outback.
Mills Mourning - The Mills Family mourns the tragic loss of Jena. Dan’s canine companion was the victim of a hit & run accident while at work, on Friday evening. Dan witnessed the whole incident and had no way to do anything to stop it. It’s hard to loose a companion this way. Dad still remembers when as a teenager, he saw a dog run over by a tractor that died right in front of him. Sad. We send our condolences.
Sam Swims - Papa was finally able to watch Sam swim as she came from 3rd in the last leg to take 1st place in her heat of the 200 yard free style on Saturday afternoon. She has qualified to compete next weekend in another meet. Go Sam!

Isaiah 8 - Happy Birthday and baptism for Isaiah. The whole Michigan Corless Clan attended Isaiah’s Baptism at the Detroit River Branch building in Detroit. We also saw- Holli’s Parents, Pablo Carbajal, Sam Skousen Jr., and the Branch President, Carlos Junca (Silvia Gray’s brother). Afterward, Mom & Dad took Ryan, Tyler, Preston and Jacob to Dan & Holli’s for a hamburger and hot dog, cake and ice cream birthday dinner and party. Ryan and Mom played the guitar and sang with Pablo. Papa helped Preston make “Robogator” with Lego Mindstorm, while Tyler, Nathan and Ryan threw the football outside. Everyone had a good time together.
