| Stanlie Gail receives visitors |
So we send flowers, greetings, best wishes, and even make personal contact by Skype, phone, mail, and travel. There comes a time when one does not have the energy to record her own impressions of your visits. We can't all be there. Please write about your visit to Albuquerque.

Nephi says that his father wrote much more than what he is sharing with us. He wrote only a very brief summary of this father's writings, and shared with us a few of his own thoughts and experiences; that he thought would be valuable to us.
Please post your reports as comments to this

ReplyDeleteAfter we all left, Stanlie Gail prayed that we would come back and give a blessing. Carlene and I were able to go back to Stanlie Gail's after Heather, Dave, and Zane had left. Carlene remembered that Stanley Gail wanted a blessing and I was able to perform that blessing. Stanlie Gail started crying when we arrived because she felt it was an answer to her prayer.
Present were a friend, Shelby, and Robert's youngest boy. The spirit was strong and the friend was even in tears at the end of the blessing. It always amazes me how blessings flow. I seem to try and think of a few things that would be appropriate to say, but then I start talking and the words just come.
I do not necessarily remember all that was said but remember the feelings of peace and comfort. I feel she still has some work to do and will be blessed with enough health to accomplish whatever that is.
I love you guys and was so grateful for what you did to make that trip happen. It was a wonderful time to renew relationships and get to know family better.
Love

ReplyDeleteThanks mom. Let me know what else you need in the pkg. and I can get those pictures sent out. In the mean time, I'll attach some here.
Our visit was very special. Stanlie Gail was very alert and talkative. She told stories and laughed and was very engaged during our visit. She became emotional when she talked about spiritual things- like meeting with the missionaries, preparing herself, praying, reading scriptures, getting blessings, and even feeling the presence of angels. She talked about being excited to be with her mom and dad. She had a very humble and kind aura and way of speaking. She had a twinkle in her eye and glow about her face and crown. Our visit was just long enough to reconnect and share some love and not wear her out too much. I recorded her stories on video, which is a good thing since I can't remember them! She expressed how much she misses her sister, mom, and how she wished you were there to be with her at this time. She also recognized the good service you two are doing, and how she wished her life had been more on the path God would have wanted for her. I felt great love and awe at the preciousness of life and family. I send all the feelings I felt in this letter and pictures to you. I love you both very much and am so grateful for our wonderful family!
Love,
Carlene
