Coming Home for Medical Treatment.

Dear Family and Friends, 

We so appreciate your prayers for Jonathan and your messages of love and support to us.  

We received word this morning from the church missionary department that, after careful review of the conditions and medical services in the West Indies, they do not feel Jonathan can receive the medical attention he needs there.  As a result, Jonathan is coming home for medical treatment.  He is not being released from his mission.  After the necessary tests and treatments are completed the same individuals who decided that he should come home, Dr Doty and a member of the 12 Apostles, will decide if he can return to missionary service in the West Indies or another mission.  

We are moving forward with the belief that he will be able to complete the full 2 years of his mission call.  We will do everything we can to see that he receives the medical care he needs to become healthy and return to missionary service.  We have already taken steps to ensure that his medical care will begin as soon as he returns home tomorrow. 

Please keep Jonathan and those who will be involved in his care in your prayers. 

Thank you again, 

Carole & Shane
