Well, I guess its about time I wrote again, though hopefully I will be better about writing now that i have things to write. This last week has been interesting, full of ups and downs. I've been working the last few days trying to make some money before school starts. I'm back in the computer labs on campus and all I can say is that I LOVE my job. I really do. Its the kind of job where I actually look forward to working because the people are great and so is the environment.
Anyway, I've also run into a few friends on campus, and that is always great. I was able to do something with one of my MTC companions, and that was so much fun and it was just great to see her.
Those are all the good things that have happened. Unfortunately, one really bad thing has put a damper on all the good. My mom went into the hospital on Wednesday. Since then I have been waiting to find out what is wrong (she's been sick since the beginning of August). I hate waiting under the best of circumstances, but under the worst, it is complete torture. Finally, today my dad called, but not with good news. My mom (the doctors are pretty sure) has cancer . . . They can't do anything for her in Bismarck, so she has to be transfered to one of two other hospitals. I don't know where they are taking her yet. I feel so helpless and like I don't know anything that is going on because here I am in Provo, a thousand miles away and soon to be even more.
I don't feel like writing anything else, but I guess you can tell why.

Wow! That's is hard news to hear about your mom! Please keep us updated on her health so we can keep her in our prayers!
I talked with your Mom on Sunday after she was back in Bismark. The ward was having a fast for her today, so I joined in that. Funny, when you are fasting for someone you care about, it has a completely different feel to it. Anyway, Karen sounded good on the phone, a little tired but she was thinking about the good things that would come out of this. How the girls at home will need to be more independent and self-reliant.
I know it is very hard for you as we went through a similar experience in 1993. And things got worse before they got better, but in the end, God is in charge so just pray that you'll be able to align your will with His. I found that reading the scriptures in a random way, opening to a page and seeing what was there had an amazing ability to address my concerns and speak peace to my heart.
Good luck. Stick with your school and your work. That's what your parents are supporting you to do.
They take joy in your success and happiness.
