Jon received a very special blessing Tuesday evening. His father (a patriarch), his uncle (temple sealer), his brother, son David and Rulon (family in Danville) all made the trip to lay their hands on his head.
Jon expressed his appreciation for such a blessing. In the very early hours of Monday morning, he had a personal witness as to Priesthood power. Much of the acts of those who hold the Priesthood do responsibilities out of duty. True love of the people they serve comes after their close association. But the Savior loves all his children with pure love first, unconditionally. And Jon felt that Tuesday evening those five men came out of love to lay their hands on his head, not duty.
Jon will go in for his first chemotherapy treatment on Monday, August 13, then again on Aug 14 and 15.

Jon -
Sharon and I have been gone most of the summer, and when hearing about your cancer and your blog site we were so impressed with your strength, your attitude and your faith. Just seeing your personality and determination in our "little play" was one of the highlights of my relationship with you. Creative, fun to be around, caring, "matter of fact" and honest with your thoughts! It was so refreshing!
We have kept you in our thoughts and prayers, we know HE is listening.

Hola amigo! How is Mexico? Boy, you would do anything to "one-up" me in learning Spanish. Guess I'd better blow the dust off my Spanish book and start practicing so we can converse when you get home. Michael and I miss you guys and include you both in our prayers every day. Hope you get home soon...we owe you a trip to the temple. We'll go to Fenton's afterwards since you need to be fattened up! All our love, dear friend.
Kathy and Michael
