Trials can bring forth tender mercies.

Yesterday we received a phone call from Dusty questioning us about how he can help his brother Brax. Brax was complaining about sharp, severe stomach pain. With what he described I suggest he have Brax be seen by our family Doctor. Dusty called Brandee who works for Dr. Madsen. His office was able to see him right away. John Powell, the PA strongly suggested he go to the ER because he thought it could be Brax appendix. So off to the ER. Brax was seen and the surgeon check him out and said he would by-pass the Cat-scan and would go right to surgery, possible ruptured appendix. Our terriffic family rallied around. Dusty and Brandon took turns staying with Brax. Doug's mom and dad spent several hours waiting in the hospital till surgery was over. Brandee and our good friend Kari spent time in the waiting room too along with Braxtin's girl friend Abbie. I am sure Clint hung out too. And those are just the ones I know about. What a blessing family is. We were promised that the Lord would take care of our family while serving on our mission. They are each other's guardian angels and how we love them.

Brax is doing great, minus his appendix, he has gone home. and is being taken care of there by our terrific family. We love you all and pray for you continually. We can't wait for you to come to New York. Thanks to all who shower Tender Mercies with your love.
