Home from BYU-I and scars for memories








Graham had a blast at University. He loved his courses, FHE-group, profs, freedom,dorm buddies etc.... He even loved the Cold. He was planning to stay for 2 semesters but decided to come home and prepare for his mission.


We let him make this BIG BOY decision and he was torn, but he came home!


We wondered how we would we get him home.



We thought flying since it was so cheap but we couldn't figure out



how he would make it in time to Boise, there wasn't any connections that worked.



He tried to find a ride to share but No such luck.



Gerry, had it in his mind that he would go pick Graham up, drive down fast and zoom home faster.

Okay when Gerry went to pick him up from BYU-I they were 45mins out of Rexburg going home when Graham needed to vomit from food poisoning. They pulled over in the knick of time for Graham to open the car door and throw up, however he passed out and fell out of the car and hit the curb. Gerry couldn't get him up, so he cleared his airway and waited for him to... revive. Gerry took him to emerg back in Rexburg where they checked him over with blood tests and mri etc....Gerry text me a photo of him and I was pretty worried. I gathered all the other children and we said a prayer for him. The faith of these children simply blows me away sometimes. Graham was pretty soar but he's healing remarkably well, due to in my belief to the access of oil/priesthood to bless him right in emerg and the faith of those praying for him. They travelled home after a 3-4hr delay that day.


WELCOME HOME GRAHAM! WE MISSED YOU!
