Monday, September 15 2014 She made it!

Got a phone call from Jessica while she had a 5 hour layover in Atlanta. Only got 5 minutes but I'll take it. She sounded good. Got a second call the next day from Jessica at the mission home. Their flight had gotten delayed in Atlanta and so they didn't get to Mexico until after midnight.  She called on the mission Presidents cell phone! I like them already. She was struggling.  I would ask that everyone pray and fast for Jessica. I wish it was just the language she was struggling with but she has had some pain in the knee she had surgery on.  The doctor here told her that it wasn't damaging anything but that some cartridge had probably built up and would need surgery to remove it. Really!  I just spent $6000 to fix it and he wants me to spend another $6000 to fix the fix!  Great! So when you add the struggles with the language, new culture and the pain and of course missing your mother, it makes one weak and want to come home.  I never expected this from her. She has always been so tough and independent.  I will admit I am a little worried.  But as a family we have decided to pray morning and night for her, and fast and attend the temple weekly.  I can't be there to help her but I can petition Heavenly Father to help her.  Please pray and fast for her as often as you can.  I also got an email from the Presidents wife Hermana Whitehead explaining how they have taken care of her.  The name of her new campanion (Hermana Magaña) and new area (Cuajimalpa, Chapultepec) Along with pictures. Thank you so much for your prayers. I know Jess appreciates them.
