Neal's Surgery



What a surprise. Neal started to have a black dot in his right eye that started to get bigger.  On Monday September 13, with the help of the Mission Home they were able to get him an appointment at 10 with an Opthamologist and was refered to a Retinologist at 11 It was determined that he had a detached retina and had surgery at 5 pm. We still don't have our Visas but it wouldn't make any difference as he cannot fly till the gas bubble in his eye is gone, about 2 weeks. We have found out that our visa's should be here by then. Neal has not had any pain with his eye!



This is our CES group we really got close to them and saw each one as they left for there missions all over the world. Some were waiting for their Visa's and they came in on the last day. What a relief for them.



We were on our way to the cafeteria and heard our names called.  We turned and there was Sister Elizabeth Rosenloft. I t is always so nice to see a familiar face. She is really enjoying the MTC and has a great companion.



We had a volunteer from Provo come to our language class to talk to us in Swedish. He would correct how we said the words and what was proper in their language. His name was Bob Lundquist. We found out that his brother and his wife are serving in the office in the Stockholm Mission Home. On Sunday we got a call from them, letting us know that our Visa's should be there by the end of the month. What a fun time we had with Bob Lundquist who also served his mission 53 years ago in Sweden and was known as "The Big Brown Bear" as he has a beautiful bass voice and did a lot of singing in Sweden. He has also been a member of the Tabernacle Choir!





Neal is by our Swedish Tudors. Zak and Michael.

We were able to spend the weekend in Lehi with Steve's family. We went to Gracie's and Ethan's Soccer games. They both won their games. So they were really excited. They are both star players on their teams.
