90 Days And Counting!!!

So, a couple of posts ago ( actually one month exactly) my friend at work announced how long it was until Christmas! She's back at it today and I got really excited that in exactly 90 days... 3 short months ( my favorite months of the year ) we get to have our phone call from Jared. I can hardly wait. My coworker started talking about Christmas shopping and I thought about our sub for Santa family... ( No answers yet on who that should be... any suggestions????) and our phone call from Jared. Last month went so fast... I can hardly wait for these 3 to go too. Come on Christmas!!! I want to hear from my boy!!!! :)

Chambe'ry Anyone??

So, we received an email from Jared and he is being transferred to Chambe'ry France. He has been in beautiful Fribourg since he arrived in Switzerland, so we knew that this transfer was coming. While this is not as picturesque as there, it is still very beautiful there.

It is in the French countryside... we are not sure where he will be exactly, but this is what I googled . He will send me real photos soon, I'm sure, once he is settled.

You hear of the canals over in Europe, but this is so amazingly beautiful. I can't wait until we get to see it in person... of course, everything will probably be frozen then.

This photo actually reminds me of where I grew up in California. Not the beautiful old house in the background, just the grape vines. They surrounded our house. I'm sure ( not from personal experience though) that this is why the French wine is so popular. I can't wait to hear how he is and how he is liking it. His French teacher, Bill, who served in the very same mission as Jared, said that Switzerland was heaven and France was H E double hockey sticks. We'll see it he agrees!

Please Pray For Devin!

Hello all...
I have a request that I am trying to get out to as many people as I can. My friend, Cathy, who lives in Florida, had a heartbreak this past weekend. Her son, Devin, who is 26 or 27 ( I'm not sure... he's in law school ) was in a horrible car accident and he is in a coma right now. Please pray that he will recover if it be God's will. She is not a member of our church, but I've felt so helpless so far away. I am amazed at Heavenly Father's church... She is far away from their home in Tallahassee ( about 400 miles away from West Palm Beach) and knows no one there. I asked my friend at work, Lynne, who used to live in Florida where she lived. She said Orlando, and I thought that I was done. I told her that I needed to have someone in Tallahassee. She was so cute, and said, "Oh! My husband's best friend lives there. Let me give him a call!" She called him and 10 minutes later, he was on his way to the hospital with the missionaries. They gave both of them a blessing and she said that it brought her such peace. I'm praying for Devin and for their whole family. Please join me to give this family some peace and comfort. All prayers are good that lead to God. Until next post my friends...
