Evan jumped into the car after receiving a phone call at 1:00 this afternoon. His mother was on her way to the hospital. She had passed out (for an undetermined length of time) and she had fallen and hit her chest on a piece of furniture. Sandy Fire Department was taking her to the hospital when he got the call. He dashed out the door without hesitation. It is now 2:00 and I just received his phone call that she is being admitted. After dinner this evening we will head up to the hospital together and should be able to get more details as to what may have caused this accident, as they are just starting their tests.

What beautiful children...
While the men-folk went to the Priesthood session of conference, Emily and the kids joined us for an evening of burgers and movies. I spent most of the evening snapping photos.

What I've learned today
1. I love my trials.
As I am surrounded by people that I know and care about and as I learn about their trials and struggles I am so grateful for mine. I know that I can handle them.
I am in awe of the strength of those around me and how well they are dealing with their personal trials. I think about the Clark family as they have rallied together to care for Christian and Stephanie's children as they recover. I think about the accident and recovery itself. I think about my friend, a young mother of three and a widow. Another friend and her young children and their horrific past that wouldn't go away because of court trials. (They finally received some closure.) Some that are struggling with their testimonies, others with marital, legal, or health problems and some with wayward or ill children.
I am blessed with trials that meant for just me. I've had it easy.
