A Series of Unfortunate Events

The honeymoon was amazing! Don't think that is what I am talking about, haha. I will write about it and tell you everything once I have a chance to upload pics etc.

However, this week some sad things have happened. It just makes me really grateful for my health and safety. It also strengthens my testimony of Heavenly Father and that miracles do happen. I want all of my family and friends to know that I love you guys and I am so happy you are well.

My friend Molly from Boise (We went to school together from K-12) was diagnosed with leukemia. She is only 23 so it is a very sad thing. She just started her chemotherapy this week and it is really hard. But she is the type of person that always has such high spirits, a lot of faith, and a good attitude. I know she'll make it through.

My little brother, Stephen's, best friend Logan Webb (practically my little brother) was in a serious bus accident with 7 other missionaries in Brazil. Here is the story from his big sister Kim:

Monday Logan was in an accident on his mission. We received details yesterday. Yes, we were all dying and wanted to jump a plane to Brazil! The driver of a flat bed semi carrying tiles fell a sleep on a narrow stretch of road in Brazil. Seven Zone leaders (missionaries) were headed to Rio de Janiero for a meeting on a local bus. The semi crashed into the bus causing tiles to fly through the windows and the impact mangle the bus. Everyone was injured. One missionary was sent home for plastic surgery on his crushed nose and cheek bone. Logan was thrown from the back of the bus to the front, hitting something on the way up that caught his knees for a second. He has a bad concussion that caused short term memory loss. He passed out. They braced his body and neck just in case until the test/ xrays were finished. He kept trying to take the braces off and was like..."Where am I!? Everyone was speaking Portuguese, (which he knows fluently) and he could only speak English, no memories of the 2nd language and what he was doing there. Everyone received HUGE gashes and wounds from the tiles that were sewn up on there face. LUCKILY Logan braced his face with his arms and hands causing his cuts mainly there, with only small cuts on his face. His short term memory slowly came back over the last two days as he has slept and healed. His knees are beat up, but he can wobble and hopefully get back tracting/walking fully in the streets in 2 weeks! He was able to talk to my parents after the Mission President gave the details to my parents. He sounded pretty good, they said. Logan said the picture of this mangled bus is crazy, he knows the Lord protected them in a big way that day and it should have been a lot worse. He said he loves the work and is improving so fast from a blessing they gave him. He is fluent again and pulling memories even at the time off the accident. He is already interviewing missionaries and into his daily duties starting yesterday from the release from the hospital. He and the missionaries remember a chunk of a ladies head landing on him, causing some to vomit. NASTY. There were no deaths... hurray. He has a little ways to go though with his legs and head, he mentioned on the phone he was "going to go now and take a nap on his spider man sheets"...coo coo, I think his memory is still a little floppy. We LOVE him and know he IS okay and the Lord is protecting him. He loves his mission and the people there. He is such a strong individual, and loves the gospel. We miss him, but will see him in JUNE!! ...The other missionaries are okay and are released with wounds to continue to heal. So that's the update, THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS, NOTES AND WISHES.
