Jacob made his first comeback to church since he started chemotherapy. We walked in just a minute after the meeting began. Our whole family walked up the aisle to the only available pew on the 2nd row. Jacob's albino head bobbled in contrast to his charcoal black suit. He was seemingly unaware of the many friends who glanced over to see that he was with us. I was a little emotional and choked up a bit while singing the hymn - such a simple thing - to have the whole family together at church.
It was fast and testimony meeting. My mind couldn't help but reflect on the many people who were and who have been fasting for our son and our needs. When the sharing of testimonies began, our home teacher got up. He comes to our home and tries to bring a message for the kids as well as for us. He smiled and ran his hand across his bald head. He expressed his love to all his home teaching families. His trip to the barber was his act to show support to "brother Jacob." He plans to keep his current hair style (or lack of hair style) until Jacob makes it through his trial.
We are pleased to know some of the nicest people EVER.
Did I mention that this home teacher used to be one of Jessica's nursery teachers?

What a great home teacher. Fast sunday was a very emotional day for our family. Jaylynn 10th birthday and all she wanted was Jacob to get better. Sure do love you
Wow! What a great supporter. I think one of the blessings that comes from going through hard things is the discovery that so many people really do care about you. Lots of love!
