Dear Brother Hanson,
Elder Hanson told me that he finally had the chance to e-mail you yesterday, so I am sure you are relieved and glad to hear that he is doing better. What an amazing miracle that took place in the lives of he and Elder Fowers. As they explained to us exactly what happened to them, we are more and more convinced that they truly did have angels watching over and protecting them from serious harm. We love these young men and women like our own children and we were so shocked and scared when we received that frightening phone call. We also felt so blessed that we just “happened” to be on their side of the country so we could go there and see for ourselves that they were going to be okay. We are also so grateful for the wonderful sacrifice of the Ferrol Branch President who spent the entire night in the hospital with them despite having put in a full day of work and for his help in finding crutches, arranging meals, rides and other things to make sure they are completely taken care of. They living angels that Elder Holland talked about in his conference talk have certainly continued that loving care.
Elder Hanson said that his ankle is doing a little better each day and he feels like he will be fine. We continue to talk to them every day to ensure that they are improving and following the doctor’s advice. They are getting a little stir crazy in the apartment, but we have asked them to make sure they take it slowly so that they don’t cause any further damage to their injuries. I am so amazed at how positive and upbeat both he and Elder Fowers are, despite the circumstances.
We have sure enjoyed getting to know your wonderful son. He has such a humble personality and is a pleasure to work with. He is a hard worker and is focused on doing what he should. Spanish has not come particularly easy to him, but he continues to work hard as he studies and practices every single day. The quality that stands out more than anything else to me is his desire to be obedient. He knows what is right and he has chosen to do that even when others around him may not chose that way. He even had the courage to advise President DuVall of a situation that he didn’t feel was right so that a change could be made. We are very proud of him for his honesty, his love of the Lord and his strong testimony. Thanks for teaching him these important principles and for raising him to be such a good young man.
If at any time you have questions or concerns about his health, you are welcome to e-mail us.
Sincerely,
Hermana DuVall
