blessings...

Thank you to everyone that has sent your thoughts and prayers. We really appreciate them. Especially Claire. Here are just a few of the stories that we have heard of so far:


-A priesthood blessing from Daddy and Heavenly Father.
-Grampa Bill in the car ready to come up within about two minutes of the conversation. Had to convince him there was nothing he could do to help.
-Grampa Bill instead called all Mathews kids to ask them to fast and pray.
-Grammie Krista sent balloons---right after all the initial pokes and pods, she saw a nurse walk in with balloons. She was still so sick and lethargic, but she pepped up for a second: "Balloons!" and reached her hand out for them. She would only watch "MeNo" (Nemo) and hold her balloons all day yesterday.
-Grammie Krista and Grumpy Matt offered to come out.
-Grammie Krista and Grumpy Matt called the Sorensen family to ask for fasting and prayers. We heard word that we are even receiving prayers from a family in a worse situation than we've ever thought possible. Thanks for your blessings, Jeff and family.
