Happy Pioneer Day!

We had a great weekend. Saturday Trent was able to go with Zach, Jarom, and his friend and his boys to the movie. That was huge! We even traveled to Providence to do it! He was tired when we got back but not too bad. Since the surgery he has slowly regained his strength. Each day he is a little stronger than the day before. He even scoots around a little without any crutches at all. It is nice to see him get better every day. We have had so much fun talking to the real Trent-he is really funny! That chemo brain is so NOT fun.

Last night Trent's sister Trisha and her husband came from California. It was so good to see them! We hadn't seen them for over two years. They had never even seen Jonathan. It was fun to have them stay with us. They headed out early this morning to go to the Rasmussen Family Reunion. We had hoped to go to but that was just too much of a drive for Trent. I was nervous that we would get up there and he would be miserable and I wouldn't be able to help him. Ultimately I left it up to Trent who decided he could not do it yet. He really misses his family and wanted so badly to go and tell them all how much he loved them. It was a tough decision to make.

Today Trent actually went to all three hours of church. We had many ward members come and greet and us say how happy they were to see him there. We were happy too. It felt good to be there and we both enjoyed every minute of it. Trent had an awesome lesson in Elder's Quorum about the Priesthood. They discussed the power and authority of the priesthood and how important it is to petition God using the priesthood. We had a similar lesson in Relief Society. Both of our testimonies of the priesthood have grown exponentially. We have come to KNOW more fully that the priesthood is the authority to act in the name of God. What power that is! We are seeing daily the blessings we have been given come to fruition in our lives. It is humbling and amazing. We are so grateful however unworthy we may feel.
