Army Miracle

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!!!!! So, this past month I have been a little worried about having to be deployed, but never really thought anything of it until this past Monday. I was informed that I was to get some letter stating that I needed to report for a soldier readiness plan (SRP) this weekend for drill instead of going to my unit's regular drill. I never received the letter, so I called my unit administrator and asked him what the deal was with the SRP. He proceeded to let me know that unless I get pregnant or get divorced, then I will be slotted to go into Iraq taking care of detainees...not so fun! Well, the deployment wouldn't be until October, so I figured I had plenty of time to get pregnant, but then Russ contiues to let me know that the Army is going to do an extended annual training before this year long deployment to prepare those who will be deployed. So, I was okay until that night after FHE when Cliff brought it up to Lela just to let her know what was going on and of the possibility of leaving. Lela's response was,"You're not going." The faith of her, AMAZING! Well, to make a long story short...our prayers were answered and the desire I have to not leave my family has been granted by the Lord. Not only am I able to stay home, but the reason for me getting to stay is because we are expecting another choice spirit of our Heavenly Father's to come down to us in December. This my friend is one of the many miracles that I have witnessed in my time in the military. Time has always been close to being deployed, but the Lord has taken care of me just as long as I have faith.

NO WAY! Congrats! For some reason I can't get your blog on my google reader account that tells me when someone has made a post... so I forgot to check yours for a while. I am so happy for you! You are a brave woman..... what are all the age gaps of your kids? I think yours are even closer than mine! You got pregnant just as quick as I did after the miscarriage, too, huh? Sooooooo happy for you guys!

The Last of the Baptisms: Tunoa

I am amazed at how beautiful this day turned out! Tunoa has not been excited to be baptized at all until he had his interview with the Bisho...
