Thank you for the invite to the reunion, oh how I would love to come, but I think I will be in Houston that week, sadly to say our son Duben is really sick, he has cancer, he has completed 12 chemo treatments, and then he got real sick, chest infection and a blood clot. He is fighting for his life right now, if you would like to put his name on a prayer list I would really appreciate that so much.  He is 33 years old and has a little girl 2 years old and a new baby boy 7 weeks old, it is so sad, but we are trusting in the Lord to take care off him and see him make a full recovery, what would we do without the gospel of Jesus Christ, the knowledge we have been given, the church is so wonderful, what a blessing it is in our lives.  We appreciate the missionaries that served in Ireland, they are a wonderful bunch of Latter Day Saints, and the Covey's they where and are the greatest, I love them and what they taught me as a convert to the gospel, what wonderful examples they are. Our son Duben, did his internship at Pres. Coveys office, and he loved Pres. Covey and always talks about what a giant of a man he is, and he was so grateful to have that opportunity to have worked there. 

So I hope you will all have a great time we will be thinking of you all, we had a great St. Paddy's Day on Saturday, we had a party and we had a good old Irish Fry, we called it an Ulster Fry, the sausages, bacon, and all the other stuff,  I made potato bread and soda farls, and we fried everything up and all was well fed.   

Thank you, and if you all would please pray for our son Duben, that would be wonderful, and I know our Heavenly Father hears all the prayers that go upward.

I am sure the Wilde's would appreciate your prayers on behalf of their son. Please also keep Sister Irene Lowry and President and Sister Covey in your prayers.

 I received a call from Elder Larsen who is presently in the MTC preparing foe a service mission to Nauvoo. He and his wife just returned from a mission at Fort Drum in New York. Elder Larsen said Elder Harrop's widow is also at the MTC preparing to go to Nauvoo.  We have may others who are serving currently on various missions or just returned. We are thrilled with the service performed by the "Missionaries of Destiny". Look forward to those who can come to the reunion.
