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.

Injury Update

After waiting until about 2:00 yesterday to get details regarding Cory's visit to an orthopedist I called the MTC to get an update. The nurse called back later and said Cory saw the MTC doctor yesterday and he is improving from physical therapy he has been receiving there. No details regarding his supposed visit to the orthopedist but she did tell me that it did not appear that he had torn ligaments so that is a relief.  However he is supposed to see the MTC doctor again today and then it will be determined if he will depart tomorrow on schedule or be delayed until he heals further. If so, we will get a call from his district president.  Just waiting so I know where to send his Valentine's Day package.  I've already shipped his sheets and other items to the mission home in case he goes. We are just kind of in limbo until we hear one way or the other.

We hope to soon be hearing about other experiences he is having besides injuries as these have dominated our communications thus far.
