Real Soccer

Sunday I was able to go to our church for the first time since the accident. I really enjoyed being there. There is always such a good spirit and everyone was so caring. The coolest story I heard was from our neighbor Kathy Barnedt. The day that our ward was holding a special fast for Andrew, her son, Weston, did a very special thing. His buddies, Jason and Isaac, asked him if he was going to fast. Weston had forgotten so he decided to skip his regular school lunch. Weston is in fifth grade. I thought this was an amazing sacrifice made for Andrew. What a cool kid! It was very touching for me to hear the prayer at our meeting and the pleas for Andrew recovery. I also learned that the neighboring church group, called wards, Spencer Ward has also been praying for Andrew. There is a special benefit that people have put together for Andrew. It is on Dec. 7 at the Junior High. Thanks in advance to Bro. Griffin who is donating his time and talents for this event. Andrew had a CT scan today just to double check his stomach and intestines. He has had some pain. They are guessing a week to ten days for his escape from the hospital. We will know the results later. Tonight Randall's brother Byron brought up his projector so Andrew could watch the REAL game on his hospital room wall. It is big screen sized. Andrew's neighbor is going to hop in his wheel chair and watch the game with him. Andrew visited with Joy and Connor, Dustin and Kristin, Ashley and Dustin, Byron and Deon. I just want to end this blog with a thought about faith in God. This experience has brought out faith in people all over the world. People of so many different faiths have come together for one purpose, Andrew's well being. God has truly shown his mighty hand in Andrew's recovery.
