Nearly Spring Wednesday


This is Sam, two days after the accident(Bottom). The top picture is Sunday when he blessed the baby.



It is a great day outside. Still a bit cool but tolerable.
Hi everyone!
A busy day and just noontime. We had a department devotional this morning. It was a special one as one of the original members of the department is retiring the 20th of this month and was asked to write a history of the department. It was very informative. He showed a Star Wars like clip about the department that was quite entertaining, they had created it in abt. 1986. It was interesting to see the progress from no computers to all of the modern equipment we have now. The audiovisual department has become an integral part of the churchs ability to reach people. It is technical and creative, and I am learning a lot. The people I work with are wonderful.



Yesterday, I learned that one of the department had a son who had a spinal cord injury 2 years ago, someone in the department had asked him to have his son go and visit Sam, which he did on Monday. I heard they hit it off, I think it will be good for Sam to know someone who is in his situation and can relate to some of the things he is going through. If you would like to visit this young man's blog it is ( josephtaggart.blogspot.com) and you can read about this accident and how he is doing now. Perhaps this will make you feel better too. It is a difficult thing that happened to these young men, but they both have great attitudes about the future. Joseph's dad said the thing that was the greatest accomplishment in his life was his son's attitude. I felt this was a wonderful way to feel as a father. I think that Sam's dad could say the same thing as Sam has such a "can do" attitude. Both of these young men have served missions consequently, they both have strong faith in Jesus Christ.



Today, they are installing the cabinets at the house. They should finish by tomorrow and we can start painting ( the worst job).



Carol (my sister-in-law) flew to PHX this morning and will drive to Silver City tomorrow to drive back her to help Ashley next week sometime. I think Ashley is exhausted trying to do everything. The hospital is taking care of Sam, perhaps we should see to Ashley's needs too, especially with that new baby. IF you call me, I will give you their address.
