Catch Up Time

It's been about a month since I last blogged on this sight. And what a month it's been!!! For my entries about our trip to Australia go to "familyguttormsen.blogspot.com"
It was an amazing trip! Tasmania was incredible and WICKED the Musical was...well, it was just wicked! We had such a good time and we want to go back as soon as we can. There's so much more to do and see.
While I was gone to Australia my little branch almost fell apart. One family left immediately to go home to their married daughter who lost a baby which was almost full term. Another family flew home to Australia because of his father's sudden death. One of my RS counselors was diagnosed with Cancer and had flown to Singapore for surgery. Another family already in Singapore for a high risk pregnancy, delivered and the baby's lungs were underdeveloped and he was still in the hospital. BOY! I wonder if I should ever leave town again. But I did turn around after we came home and flew to Singapore to visit with Cindy and her new baby and to bring
Cindy, my counselor, home to Jakarta. Talk about a RS president that goes the extra mile...s.
Here's the update, Christy's baby is now doing fine and should be out of the hospital tomorrow. Cindy's tests all came back negative after her surgery and she was pronounced cancer free. Brother and Sister Hunter returned from his father's funeral and he said it was one of the most spiritual experiences in his life. I haven't heard from Lori regarding her daughter. They're still stateside. I'll keep them in my prayers.
Isn't it great how the Lord has His hand in all things. What a blessing to be here and to get to know all these wonderful, faithful saints.
One more blessing...I got to see my cousin in Singapore. He moved there about a month ago from Houston. We had a great dinner and a lot of fun catching up with our very busy families.
