Spencer's Safe

 This is not a quilting post, but I am so full of Gratitude I just had to share it!!!

Many of you know our son, Spencer, is currently serving a 2 year religious mission for The Chruch of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in Germany. On Tuesday night our son's apartment in Germany caught fire. He and his companions were able to exit the building without harm, sans some smoke inhalation. 8 of his building mates were sent to the hospital and we pray for their quick recovery. We are so thankful to the police, fire department, ambulance drivers, and other service heroes who helped and took care of everyone who was affected by this tragedy. There were so many small miracles that kept our son and his companions safe and I know that our Father in Heaven was watching over them. 


I am so grateful for a loving God and our Savior, Jesus Christ, who both know each of us, love us, and guide us!! Spencer is now in Frankfurt at the mission office while they figure out new living accommodations and such.   He will be able to return to his apartment on Saturday to see what is salvageable, but again, we are just so happy he is safe and well.  He sent me this picture this morning and I just love it!!  This is him arriving in Frankfurt the next morning in his pj's. He's tired but he is smiling :) 

We love you Spencer!!!
