From Eva

Hi,  Thank you!  This is really lovely (Jackie Evancho’s voice is a real gift from God !!!)  I have two of her CDs and this is on one.  I do not think it was on the one I gave you folks for Christmas ("To Believe").  Such Talent.  

David and Eulale left this AM for Kansas City to go the open house of the Temple in Liberty.  I wanted to go but my back does not like all of that sitting, walking, etc.  My mission friend surely tried to convince me to come back. It is so beautiful from the outside. It is right next door to the Stake Center he designed.  

They went to Hawaii for ten days and took Chase for his last trip before his mission. He was able to receive his Endowment in the  newly remodeled Temple there and had a very special experience. He goes to Preston, England MTC on August 9th

I enjoyed getting a card and address from Melanie and Howard. Their house looks really nice; a lot different than their beautiful area in Boston.

Not long until Braden comes home.  I have enjoyed his emails.  God. Bless.   Love  you,  Eva.

From Eva

Thanks, I get two at a time.  Tyler's fitst son and Andreria's son Brad and Titan were also born just hours apart. 

We are expecting one more,  JD & Angie on the Ocot.  16th;  They are pretty excited. They wanted to start their family after they both finished their Masters in Engineering.  He has a good job and she  has a part time job she can do at home on her computer.

Alyssa's grad announcement is realy nice.  I received an email from Barry's youngest daughter, Rachel, telling me about her 16h birthday on the 17th and about her first date on the 19th.  She is excited; the school has a great theme for the dance.   

Thank you for this beautiful card; you are always so thoughtful.  Love you both so much,  Eva      

Help for Donovin

Myrna wrote: Donovin hurt his hand quite badly and the school called here because they cannot get any of you. I tried calling you, Arbree, and you, David, without getting through. I don't quite know what to do.

I remember that David sat at the school for over and hour when he broke his arm. I still get angry even thinking about it. There he was, in pain, sitting in the office because I was at a county commission meeting. When I got home from there, I got the message. Meanwhile, he could have been helped. I even had my doctor's number and my permission form filled out. Not only that, buy LHT was just at the his school being principal. I had others on that permission form and NOBODY was called. Then, when I took David to our local doctor he said that his arm was too badly broken and we had to go to Provo to a specialist.

The specialist didn't really set it right because he said that kids of David's age would heal OK and that the bone would straigten itself out over time.

Whew! The reason I couldn't get anyone was because Bree was on her way to the school and David was calling out so that he could get things taken care of and get to the school. That was a relief to know. I am glad that Donovin didn't have to sit there forever. I did give the school David's work number and they did call through on that number so, perhaps, it did help a tiny bit for the school to call me.

Now I just need to wait and find out how badly Donovin is injured. It sounded as though it might be broken.
