Day 11: I am grateful for combined prayers and fasts and the power they have. I have been blessed by the combined faith of friends and family members, especially with this pregnancy. I have seen miracles happen in our lives because of that. I have also seen miracles in my family and friends lives as well.
Yesterday (I'm writing on day 12) I got an email from my sister in law (Ashley) who has had her fair share of infertility struggles. They tried for over 5 years for their first baby. Eventually they did invetro (I don't know how to spell that word... sorry) and now have a beautiful almost 3 year old daughter. They have been trying for probably 2 years and have been seeing a doctor for about a year to try to have a second one. Seeing a fertility specialist isn't cheap, and they are in dental school right now... so basically they can only afford to try one more round of treatment to get pregnant. If it doesn't work, then they will have to wait 2 more years till after Matt finishes with Dental school in order to afford more treatment.
We got a text from Ashley yesterday morning asking us to fast for them, since they are starting the treatment soon. I fasted from media (thus I didn't post this yesterday). I'm so grateful that we can fast for loved ones and that Heavenly Father recognizes the combined faith of others for the individual. I really hope they can get pregnant.
Even though not many people who read this blog know them, if you could keep them in your prayers, that would be greatly appreciated. Their names are Matt and Ashley Fletcher.
Day 12: I'm grateful for weekends. Even though I do just about the same thing on a Saturday that I do on every other day of the week, it's nice to be able to have Jonathan home. I'm grateful for Sundays, and the opportunity we have to renew our covenants, and to attend a spiritual feast every week.
