Anxious and Ready

Britt was anxious and ready for physical therapy this morning and thought that he could do it without any pain meds for his leg. The pain got the best of him and that slowed him from doing everything he had hoped to do. Despite the great pain he had, he still walked 2 long halls to get to the therapy room and that was a first! After a good rest and lunch he set out for his 2nd session of physical therapy. He made it half way down the hall and became very nauseous. That seemed to control his afternoon, so he spent the rest of the day in bed. He did pass another "swallow" test, and now he can eat anything. Hooray! Britt did have an enjoyable evening visiting with a couple of great friends. Seeing his face light up was a wonderful sight to see. We have been blessed in so many ways over the past 6 1/2 weeks. Our testimony has been strengthen as we have learned to rely on our Savior Jesus Christ and we are grateful for our Heavenly Fathers constant love. We want each one of you to know of our love for you and have been touched by your testimonys also. Sending our love, Steven, Karla & Britten

  7. Keep it up, Britten! You are truly incredible. Coming from such incredible parents, I am not at all surprised :) You know the Lord is with you. I hope you know, also, that you have become and are becoming still a great part in the bringing forth of Zion on this earth and preparing the world for the Second Coming. So many have been touched in the deepest parts of their hearts by the continuing miracles and the love for the Savior that your entire family has. I fervidly commend you in your continued faithfulness and trust in the Will of the Father. I'm filled with peace whenever I think about the magnanimous Plan of Salvation. I am putting in my mission papers in 4 months and 19 days- I can't wait to serve the Lord as a full-time missionary! I know in times of trial you and your experiences will remind me of the goodness of God and the great power of the Atonement. What priceless truths we have.
    I love you, Britten, and I love all of your wonderful family. I am so happy that you are part of my family :)
    Love,
    Sherilyn
