Please Join Us!

Dearest friends and family,

I wanted to let you all know that on Sunday we will be holding a special fast for Kaidence and her doctors. Our sweet ward family will be joining us and we would love to have you all remember Miss K in your fast and/or prayers.

This is from a conference talk from years ago.

"Fasting in the proper spirit and in the Lord’s way will energize us spiritually, strengthen our self-discipline, fill our homes with peace, lighten our hearts with joy, fortify us against temptation, prepare us for times of adversity, and open the windows of heaven."

"Fasting, coupled with mighty prayer, is powerful. It can fill our minds with the revelations of the Spirit." Joseph B. Wirthlin

We testify of the real power of fasting and prayers. It brings knowledge and it brings peace. What great blessings these two things are. We know that Heavenly Father will guide us as to those things that are meant for Kaidence. That she will be able to full fill her mission on this earth no matter how long or short that may be. We trust in Heavenly Father....We have Faith in His plan for her!

Thanks and Love to you all!

Some have asked about why we fast and what it is. Here is a link to a talk explaining fasting

When I see ya I still don't know how you do it? I am a deer in the head lights and have brain fog most of the time. I hope when we saw you at the hospital, you didn't think I was totally rude! We think of you often.... and of course you are in our prayers.

Kaidence Mom,

I am so sorry for the recent news that you received about Kaidence.

I have a daughter who has had two heart surgeries and two airway surgeries. I understand the stress and heartache of watching a daughter go though the pain and being unable to do anything but love her.

During the second airway surgery my daughter's vocal cords were damaged and she is not able to talk.

I was hoping to get the name of the doctor who did Kaidence's surgery.

My family's thoughts and prayers will be with Kaidence and your family.
