Comfort

I made it to church today! I went to Sacrament meeting, which goes from 9:00 - 10:10. At about 9:45 I was worried I wouldn't be able to finish the meeting, but I made it and I hope to be able to go again. I really enjoyed the talks; they were really comforting and it felt like every talk was written just for me. I felt strengthened by being at church. The rest of the day was nice, I got a little nap and then had a visitor. We walked to my mother-in-law's house and sat under the tree and enjoyed the breeze.

I am ready to go to San Francisco. I have been having this odd wake-me-up pain in my ribs and I am hoping the doctors can tell what's wrong with that bili tube. It's not really draining and we think it's blocked, which may be what's causing the pain. I feel peaceful and hopeful about this trip. Maybe a little scared, but not really. I know the doctors will do everything they can and I hope it works. If it doesn't, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Thank you all so much for the fasting and prayers. It has been so humbling and comforting to me to have your support. At this point, we are going on hope and prayers. I know we will get through whatever comes our way.

Surgery is at 9:30 Monday morning. As soon as we're able, we'll get something posted about it.
