The Gift


Our son-in-law, Steve Casos, gave us a wonderful gift. On Sunday evening we flew (at his expense) to Boise, Idaho where he and Holly are seriously investigating in the event Steve accepts employment there at Saint Alfonso's hospital. Holly also flew in that night with no knowledge that we were going to be there as well. Both flights were late. Holly's came in last at 1:12am. We hid behind a pillar at the bottom of the escallator and jumped out when she and Steve got to the bottom. It was a great surprise and we hugged each other tightly with tears in our eyes. We had not seen Holly and Steve since July. It was a beautiful gift to spend one day with them. We looked at a Center for Autism, and at homes in East Boise that day. We had a wonderful lunch with a few of the doctors and one nurse. When we said goodbye at 5pm it was a tearful yet joyful goodbye. What a fun day...a special gift...a tender mercy!

Mom and Dad--

It was so great to be able to see you one last time before you leave on your mission. Thanks so much for taking the time to come (and helping me search for a house!)

Mom--you need to post your MTC address. We have something to mail you and need an address.

Love
Holly

The MTC is a little full and asked us if we might have somewhere in Provo we could stay - so we will be doing MTC 8-5 and Tuesday and Sunday till 9 but we will be at Robyn's every night till we board the plane on Monday morning!
