This morning just after we arrived at church, we were informed of a man up at Doctor's Hospital who needed a visit and desired some reading material to include a copy of the Book of Mormon. We gathered up some issues of the Ensign magazine and took two of our missionaries and went up to the hospital after the servicemen's group concluded. This poor fellow had poked himself in the arm with something on an old hot water heater, which caused him to contract a flesh eating virus; so bad that it ate his skin and part of his muscle away. He said that he was a member of the church, but had not been active in years and wanted to start making things right. The woman that he currently lives with is not his wife, but is the mother of his children. So he has a lot of things to correct in his life. We visited with him for a while and then told him we would be back in a couple of days after his next surgery. They are going to try to graft cadaver skin onto his arm.

We had an appointment this evening, but when we got out to the house no one was home. We were hoping that we were at the correct house. We called, but received no answer, then left a message, hopefully they will call back.

We were also happy to hear that Adam made it home safe and sound yesterday and that Matt and Becky also made it home today from their cruise. We love our family.
