Cancer?

I had to post this picture again. Before when I looked at it I thought- My Mom is going to have to go through so much pain and hard times but I know when I looked at this picture someday it will all be okay. Today is that day..... My Mom found out that after they removed her cancer and praying that they would not find anymore cancer in her lymph nodes that..... Doctors called today and there is not a trace of cancer!!!!!! And my Mom is feeling INCREDIBLE body and soul!

 I feel like doing this!!!! Running from door to door saying it's a MIRACLE!!!!!! Miracles happen like it or not!!!! I have no idea if she will still have to do radiation... Which I am guessing she will just to make sure there is none for sure. I have no idea- she will find out what her next steps are at her next appointment. I seriously have learned so much fom her over this past month that I wold like to share. (These are some thngs she has said on phone calls, in letters, etc...)

 "You can never feel complete Happiness without feeling complete sorrow or pain."

"When we have trust in the Lord we do not ask to have our will be done if it isn't for our best good.  Only He knows what's best for all of us.  He knows what will bring us the greatest blessings.  He has the eternal perspective of all things.  He has all wisdom.  Yet, he still requires us to ask because our faith can bring about the greatest blessings that His will has in store for us....and sometimes that does mean an immediate miracle... and sometimes it can mean a miracle that can materialize with time."

(This is before the surgery or anything had happened yet)
"I'm not sure how I'm going to look when it's all over, but one thing I am sure of is how I plan on feeling inside.  I've already  made up my mind how I'm going to deal with it, and I already know that the Lord will enable me, through the atonement of Jesus Christ, to overcome any depressing,  sad feelings of loss, or whatever may be the case." 

" I am learning how tangible prayer is in the life of the recipient.  It feels like a shield of protection, a vital part of this strong armor that nothing bad can penetrate."

"I am not afraid!"

""It's a great life is you don't weaken!" That's going to be my motto for the next few weeks."

my mom wrote....

 ...a quote from Sister Hinckley:  "We are all in this together.  There are some years in our lives that we would not want to live again.  But even these years will pass away, and the lessons learned will be a future blessing."  I don't know what the will of the Lord is.  All I know is that I feel totally at peace with whatever it is."

         "What does a person do that feels as blessed as I do? How do I really express or show the gratitude that I am feeling right now? I know that I don't want to become a fanatic or too over-zealous...and I know that Dad (Wes) will be so relieved if I don't, but I do want to shout from the roof-tops that the power of prayer is real...that faith is real...that fasting is real. I want to tell the world about how I'm feeling and why I'm feeling like this. I'm relating to the joy that Ammon felt when he said, "Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."

                    This thought has come to me: that when I do become a full-fledged missionary, that I will be able, and eager, to witness to any person that is willing to listen to me, that I know that the principles of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are true. I know that I will be able to bear that testimony with a greater conviction than I ever have before!"


What an amazing woman and what an INCREDIBLE MIRACLE!
