Hats and Implants

 

This boy has been enjoying his time on the wall around the city. His hat may have changed a bit from the cowboy hat that he used to wear on a daily basis, but he still wears a hat most days.

He tells us that it is a different kind of heat where he is currently living than what we have here.

He likes to explore his new area.

During our last phone call, we started talking about when Chance first got his implants.

I was reminding him of little details like when he brought me the laundry from the dryer and told me

it was "done."

He was hearing the beep of the dryer for the first time after he got his implants.

He also put his little ear up to the fridge and dishwasher, and with eyes bulging , looked at me in amazement as if to say,  "DID YOU KNOW ALL OF THESE THINGS MAKE NOISE?"

We had a whole period where Chance became acquainted with our appliances.

We found these little gems while looking at the blog to find the post when Chance first had his implants first activated: 

What a cute kid!

And now look at him!

AND getting acquainted with new appliances in England:

This is what Chance had to say about his week:

The weekend a week ago our boiler went out and so we had 5 days of cold showers and it was bone chilling at first but then it became bearable. Don't worry though, we were able to get it fixed, so we have warm water now. 

This Gospel is so true y'all. It has the power to change us into better people. The Gospel is the best medicine for anything going on in your life. It can heal you. Never take for granted the gospel, for we are a blessed people to know it and to be a part of Christ's true church on the Earth. 

Helaman 3:27-28

"Thus we may see that the Lord is merciful unto all who will, in the sincerity of their hearts, call upon his holy name.

Yea, thus we see that the gate of heaven is open unto all, even to those who will believe on the name of Jesus Christ, who is the Son of God."

God is a merciful God and he wants us to receive great blessings and happiness. The Gospel is the way he has set for us to acheive those things. Live the principles found in the gospel and look to Jesus Christ, and you will have the best life you could ever have. 

I love you all! 

Have a great week! 

With much Love,  

Elder Paxton
