A bump in the Road


Well, we had Daniel in for his mission physical last week. He had a small wartlike growth taken off from over his eyebrow and when he went back on Friday to have the stitches out they looked at his TB test and said it was Positive! Now we have no idea why it would come out that way, but the way the nurse panicked and got the doctor (not his, but another at the clinic) and the way the doctor kind of panicked, it got Daniel upset. He is having a chest x-ray tomorow. They did not tell him what the possibilities are - we are going to check online for any information about whether these tests can come back with a positive that is false. So, for now, we have to wait and see if and when he is cleared medically. Cole and Jessica got moved into their house yesterday.

Time has passed


It has been a while since we have posted. We had a great Christmas and had the opportunity to talk with Elder Nathan for a whole hour on Christmas day. He is so happy and excited and in love with his mission. He is teaching piano lessons to the branch president's wife and to another lady in the branch. He is busy working with investigators as well as helping with re-activation and retention of members. He has an American companion who is letting him lead the day at least once a week, I know this is teaching him a lot of great lessons. He has two baptisms this coming weekend and will have more in the coming weeks. We love to hear from him and feel his love and excitement for missionary work in Sierra Leone. The little kids call him "Apoto" which means "white guy". The rest of us are doing well, looking forward to the birth of our second granson in June. Cole and Jessica have a new house and Chris and Brittany are getting a house soon. Stephanie and Daniel are doing well in school. Cole works in Park City at the Waldorf Astoria at the Canyons and is in the midst of Sundance Film Festival. He got to meet Sienna Miller and James Franco and walked Katie Holmes to her room. He is busy and enjoying his job a lot! Jessica is loving being a stay at home mom and Kyle loves it that she is with him all the time. Stephanie is moving back with us when Cole and Jessica move into their house this week. it will be fun to have her here. Daniel is working on mission papers and hopes to submit them in April! Rob is doing great and is have success in his job. We are all happy and healthy and loving life!
