sad day Edwin Beus and happy day Elder Borher

Yesterday was a sad day.  Renee called and wanted to talk to Dennis because her father-in-law, Edwin Beus who has had a lot of health issues all his life and who had been discharged from the hospital only about 10 days ago was not doing well.  He had fallen out of the kitchen chair and was unresponsive.  Her mother in law called and asked her to come over.  She didn't feel comfortable declaring him dead but that appeared to be the case.  At the time she called we were having a little crises of our own with an Hermana but I pulled Dennis away from that and he advised Renee how to proceed from with her situation.

The Hermana went to the hospital with her companion and was put into a cast for a broken elbow and a sprained wrist.  Her companion came back in time to sing a musical number at the Tuesday evening devotional.  The devotional was a live broadcast from the Provo MTC with Elder and Susan Bednar speaking.  He spoke about the importance of reading and understanding the conference talks, particularly the 15 talks from the members of the quorum of the twelve and the the first presidency.

We received 58 new North American missionaries and about that many Latinos.

One of the good things that happened was that  Elder Bohrer went to the hospital to have his stitches taken out.  He had stitches from ear to ear on top of his head.  The church flew his father down from Idaho to travel home with him.  Dennis went with them.  Elder Bohrer will have additional surgery in the US.  He will also baptize his little sister on Saturday.  That is a nice opportunity for this Elder who will not be back into the field for several months.

Elder Buck, not sure of the next elder, Elder Blerman and Elder Buck with the Hat that Elder Packard loaned him to cover his huge incision.  They were moving from the apartment next to ours into a house to make room for a large group of Elder coming into the CCM.
