Dear Family, Dear Friends

Miranda and I went to Washington to visit Sandra and Josh and listen to Sandra sing at the Washington DC Visitor Center.  It's always fun to listen to her.  And I love sitting next to people as they just gasp over her and how good she is, not realizing that they are sitting next to her brother!  It's pretty funny.
Anyway, Miranda and I had a chance to speak with President Lamar Sleight, a member of the Temple Presidency.  He and his dear wife have been some of the most supportive and encouraging people to Miranda and me during our fight with cancer.  What is even more amazing is that they support us, when they need support.  Sis. Sleight is struggling in her own fight against cancer.  As we spoke and exchanged reports, Pres. Sleight told me that Miranda and I have been on their minds a lot lately, and they didn't know why.  But they had been praying extra hard for us.  Hearing about my recent battle with prednisone put the pieces of the puzzle together for them.
How grateful I am for people like Pres and Sis Sleight.  They listen to the Holy Ghost and act.  They pray for others, and think of others before themselves.  What an inspiration to me!
