Jacob, Sarah, Benjamin, and Lydia had their Primary Program today. It was the one and only time all four of them were in it together. I am so grateful for the gospel truths they are learning. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13
October is Rett Syndrome Awareness month and it seems like a good time to give an update on all things with Lydie’s health from the past year. This last year has seen mountains and valleys. I remember speaking with a friend in April about how things were going really good with Lydie at the time. …
