Lynn Foot Surgery....

Last Friday, Jan 4, 2013, Lynn had surgery on his right foot, at the Tooele Hospt. .  Dr. Rogers, and Dr. Halladay,  removed a growth that was on the bottom, inside the skin of his right foot.  It was about the size of a tightly closed fist. Made of several grouping in one mass.  They made a incision on the side of his foot, removed the growth. The pressure of the growing growth on the nerves,  had caused the foot to become cold and numb.  Dr. Rogers said it could take up to a year to recover.

Joking Dr. Rogers said that Lynn would be in the medical books.  Because the lab where they sent the mass did not know what it was.  So they sent it to Huntsman Cancer Institute  and they did not know what it was.  So they sent it to a top expert back east and the Dr. there knew what it was, and found it to be Benign, or not cancer.

Lynn last had surgery in 1975, when they worked on his ear.  He has forgotten how long it takes to recover from surgery.

Neighborhood full of Angels....

My feelings are so deep right now, that I have no words that can express the gratitude for all the Angels who have blessed our lives.
I often feel a little bit of Heaven fell down to earth and landed in Grantsville.  And for some strange reason we have come to live among the Angels here.

For over a year I have loved my friends dining table. Its Solid Golden Maple Wood, with a very unique slide out top, which holds a hidden table leaf, with real gears for smooth movement.  One of high quality made.

Yesterday my friend called and said they were on their way over to my house, which is across our neighborhood.  Penny brought her beautiful table, and eight wooden, high back dinning chairs...... for me.    I couldn't believe it.......  She had bought a new dinning set and gave me this one.  Its so beautiful.

Penny could have sold the set for a large sum of money, probably in the thousands because of the high quality, and good care she had given it.   Instead  she gladden my heart with pure delight.

Sister Amber Hone...sounds good...

Yesterday in General Conference, President Monson said there is a change in age for young adults to become Missionaries.  As of yesterday, a young adult, who has graduated from High School, or equal to it, and Boys age 18, and Girls age 19 are now excepted for Missionary service.

Today my Granddaughter  Amber, informed me she has an appointment with her Bishop this week, and she wants to serve a Mission.

Amber is Launie's daughter.  Launie is my oldest daughter.

UPDATE:  Dec 21, 2012    Amber received her Mission Call to Spain.    She reports to the Mission home on May 1, 2013.

Update...Sept 2012...

This is a update in my life today.  I am feeling better every day, my strength is increasing, I am able to do more each day, which is a blessing at this time. It looks like I may be loosing the toenail on my big toe, on my right foot.  The Dr. said it could happen with Chemo.

Around the first of the year Lynn health was struggling
 Our Family Dr. sent him to my Cancer Dr. (Dr. Chandramouli) as he is one of the top Hematologist, in the nation.

The results of testing showed that Lynn has Myelofibrosis, with a deformed gene that is called Jack 2.
There is no cure. Dr. Chandramouli said life expectant is about 10 years.

Lynn and I feel this has been triggered as a results of the complications of the Walker family problems, and his caring for me through my cancer treatments.

About Aug 1st, Lynn started participating in a experimental chemical study at Huntsmans at the University of Utah. I have been driving him into Salt Lake City 2-3 times a week.

Lynn has no energy.  He has very little strength, and it is short lived.
He sleeps a lot, and moves very slow, including sometimes, his speech.....Like a car which is driving in the lowest possible gear.
Every time he has to deal deeply with the Walker problem, he gets sick.  Its sad because he is the oldest of the siblings, and they look up to him, for advise or just for someone to listen to them, because they are all hurting.

Right now we have also found out Lynn's sister, Judy, has cancer in her back, which she is receiving treatment.  Last year they found a cancer spot on her lung, which she had surgery for.  Judy is a nurse, and has gone to her Moms and Dads aid all the time. Now she is not even permitted to talk to her mom.

It is  strange, because I have always depended on Lynn, and now I am the one who is getting stronger.
I have realized that more is expected of me....... and I am trying to do all that I can.

I Answered Your Prayers....

For months I have felt sorrow for not sharing in the Happiness that surrounds Jodie, my youngest.  In my complaint to the Lord, I received this answer...

I Have Answered Your Prayers.......I got Jodie out of Parker, and Lake Havasue because of the bad influence that was there.
I did bring her to Provo Utah where she would be safe, and reinforced her strength, as she had to deal with a bad relationship.
I introduced her to a Wonderful Man.
I led her to the Temple for a Temple Marriage, to be sealed for all Eternity.
And blessed her to be part of a family that is strong in the Church, being surrounded by two strong families that love her.
I have granted Her prayers to be a Mother......

What More Do You Want From Me??????....

I am at peace.....

Scott Quayle...

A person is probably never ready to get a phone call that a friend has died.  You can anticipate, but the feelings always are less than what happens in your heart when you answer that call.

This Morning one of the best men I've known moved beyond this earth, Scott Quayle.  For the entire time I served as Bishop, and then many years before my service, Scott served quietly and with dignity to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to others in the world and in action.

A more Christ-like man, I have never known.  I will now draw upon his past-time example to live a better life myself.  Scott has been a person hero for seven years.  That wont change with  today's call.....

                                              ..................................

Brother Scott Quayle died this morning, at his home. from fast moving Cancer.  His wife Crissy, will soon follow him in a few weeks, from Cancer to.

They are both very special people, making the world a better place, where ever they happen to be.

Bro. Quayle was always encouraging concerning our daughter Jodie, and her becoming active in church, and going through the Salt Lake Temple.  It meant so much to me that he took a personal interest in her.....

NOTE:      Crissy Quayle died January 10, 2013

Family Search Indexing...

 April 17th 2012,
 Marilyn Grua, who is over the Extraction Indexing for our stake, and my neighbor,  Started me working on the Family Search Indexing program.  On my computer I have been typing the names and info from the 1940  Censes, to a form for church use.

I have found this service to be very satisfying
Starting with a word of prayer for help, to know the names I do not know.
I feel that someone is standing just behind me, giving me inspiration, and sometimes names, or to see the letters different than I first thought. and where to look on the batch to find the answers I am looking for.

You are diffidently not alone doing this work.  Its important work, for people are trying to trace their genealogy lines, So I try to make sure its right.  I know anyone can do this, it has been made real easy to do.
But You have to ask the Lord to help you... and you receive it...
