This is the Life!!!

A few days ago, I found Panda in this envied place.  In the sun, on our bed (which Dad hates), asleep.  I thought to myself, "She has a pretty dang good life."  Just for a moment I wished I could trade her places, just to be so relaxed enjoying the sun.  Hey-who's up for the beach?!

Honors for Grandpa

About 3 years ago, the Albanian ambassador to America was visiting UVU in Orem, Utah.  At that time, he presented a certificate of commendation to Grandpa and Grandma for their work in Albania on their mission.  He said that the work they did changed the health care in Albania.  Grandpa taught at the medical school and Grandma worked with malnourished children at the dystrophy hospital.  What a difference 2 people can make!

A few months ago, Grandpa learned that the weekly case studies that he started presenting at the medical school are still going on 12 years later.  The communication between departments has vastly improved the quality of care at the hospital.  There has also been a care center built closer to the people to care for their children instead of having to take them far from home, to the original dystrophy hospital where Grandma worked. 

Everyone can make a difference no matter where you are.
