Journal

Cathy spent most of the day trying to figure out if we can go to Florida so that she can be treated for her para thyroid condition (I think that's right). Anyway it is causing her osteoporosis which is very dangerous. The place in Florida is considered the best in the world at dealing with her condition and was recommended by our physician, Dr. Von Welch.

It looks like we will be able to get her there for a November 18 surgical procedure that should literally save and prolong her life. Stay tuned.

The planning and research took all day and is not over yet but it looks like we will be able to fly out of Provo and most of the medical costs will be covered by our medical insurance.

Because of her efforts she was unable to go with me to the Bishops Storehouse but we will both go there today and help with the semi annual inventory that has to be done. Shouldn't take more than two hours. We've done it before.

Come Follow Me 

3 Nephi 22:7 For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee.

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment, but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer.

10 For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed, saith the Lord that hath mercy on thee.

"My dear brothers and sisters, there will be days and nights when you feel overwhelmed, when your hearts are heavy and your heads hang down. Then, please remember, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, is the Head of this Church. It is His gospel. He wants you to succeed. He gave His life for just this purpose. He is the Son of the living God.

...[T]he Savior heals the broken heart and binds up your wounds. Whatever your challenges may be, wherever you live on this earth, your faithful membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the divine powers of the gospel of Jesus Christ will bless you to endure joyfully to the end."
