I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears, behold I will heal thee.

SHARED OUR STORY!

We have spoke in a couple of wards the last few weeks...it's nice to be able to share our story and share the spirit with others. The Lord has blessed us so much and we love the opportunties to share that with so many people. It is hard to talk about the personal struggle I went through before the transpant, but because I knew the Lord loves me....I found strength and hope!

Bryan has decided to GO TO SCHOOL! He has finally decided what he wants to be when he grows up.....He is going to MMI-motorcycle tech..He is doing the Harley Davidson program and the Yamaha program. I am glad he has the opportunity to do something he enjoys. I think he will be happy and he definately deserves to be happy- he has been through more than anyone should have to go through! Unfortunatey we have to move to Phoenix,AZ for about 1.5 years. I am going to study at the Film Institute of Phoenix! I am excited to also pursue my life long dream!!! I am going to get so much experience and hopefully get some work! As long as I am living the gospel and sharing my testimony with others, I will be successful in all I do!

My family is doing well....Nikkii is in Virginia Beach with Darren and will be returning home next week- I have not seen Darren since my transplant- I am excited to finally see him. We have missed having him around the last 6 months! Brant and Dorothy have sold thier house they flipped in Pocatello (hooray) They also found out they are going to have a boy! So good for them!
Corey......well he is working alot and I think is remodeling his house, building a skull guitar, and looking forward to hunting season approaching! Itsuki is working in Rexburg and we hope she is doing well. My parents almost have thier addition done!! They are BUSY! My mom takes Corey's kids several days a week...she always amazes me!

My Testimony

It's hard to put into words how I feel toward my Heavenly Father and the Savior. I have so many reasons to be thankful for what I have gone through & endured. Because of my trials in life I have gained a strong testimony of Faith. I have always had Faith in the Lord and in Prayer. As I faced the decision to get a double lung transplant I had to rely on faith to make the choice.....By listening to the spirit, I was guided to Pittsburgh where my life was saved. I believe prayers are answered. I have always tried to follow the philosophy of this: If I do what the Lord expects of me, he will give me what I want & need. That has always worked for me. I Believe in MIRACLES..........My life on this earth is a miracle- I prayed on my knees for years to be healed from my lung disease. I knew that through a priesthood blessing (if it was God's will) I could be healed. So many times I thought he would heal me instantly...my faith was tested as I continued to get sick and no cure was in my future. I turned to prayer....I talked to my Heavenly Father, I cried to him and he heard me and he healed me by guiding me to Pittsburgh and guiding the surgeons hands. I learned humility, and thankfulness. I realized that we need others to lean on and we are supposed to strengthen each others testimonies. I learned that the hardest things we'll do are usually the greatest blessings in our life. I was able to experience a lot of things during surgery and I know I had comforting angels in my ICU room. THe Lord knows each of us by name and he will never leave our side. We need to remember to stay close to him and have Faith that he is watching over us. I know this for a fact! I know that following the gospel will bring us true happiness- the world will tell us otherwise, but I know I am truely happy & living the gospel has brought me that. Amen
