Prayers

Dad's health is not improving, but he remains positive and happy and as strong spiritually as ever. He and mom are such wonderful examples. He is home from work now. We got news last week that there is a fast growing tumor on his liver. It is giving him jaundice and he isn't as strong as he has been. His body is still fighting, we are still hoping for a miracle. In a talk that President Uchtdorf gave this last conference, he said, "Patience means active waiting and enduring. It means staying with something and doing all that we can—working, hoping, and exercising faith; bearing hardship with fortitude, even when the desires of our hearts are delayed. Patience is not simply enduring; it is enduring well!" Oh, how well Dad has endured! We are trying to be patient ourselves perhaps not as patient as Dad. Come visit if you can, he is tired, but he and Mom enjoy the company. Keep praying for him.
