My Testimony

My Testimony:
I know that the Atonement is real and that we can all enjoy the cleansing power that it provides. I am grateful for my Savior for performing the Atonement so that I can return to my Father in Heaven. I am grateful for missionary service. I am thankful that missionaries world-wide have the opportunity to bring the fullest blessings of the Atonement to faithful children of God. I know that the Bible and The Book of Mormon are inspired scriptures and are here for our behalf. I owe everything to all of those prophets of old that loved us so much and desired so much for our salvation to write down the words on how we can be saved. We are literally children of a loving Heavenly Father and He wants us to return to Him. I know that Jesus is the Christ. And I love the joy the gospel brings with the knowledge that we can be together with our families for all eternity.

He's Off on Schedule

We did receive a phone call this morning from Cory after he arrived at the airport.  He is still wearing braces on both ankles but is glad he was able to convince the doctor to let him leave on schedule.  I was able to record our conversation this morning as I was the only one home at the time.  It was good to hear his voice and get instant feedback to questions I was wondering about.
 
He told me that one this second injury occurred all the signs that the doctor could see indicated that his ankle was broken but he received a priesthood blesssing and the x-rays following that blessing showed no fracture of any kind.  He has been blessed.

He is excited to be going to Houston today and we look forward to hearing where his first assignment will be.

Thanks to all for your prayers and support on his behalf.
