A vacation in the middle of a Mission?? kinda :)

Wow!  What a coaster ride we have been on!  Our Missionary is returning home on Saturday the 27th.  Lots of prayers went out to him, in the hopes that he would be okay to stay and serve.  It looks as though that is not what is to be at this time ...so with excitement growing, we will be at the airport on Saturday at noon to welcome back probably the best Missionary Peru has ever known!  So many different emotions are bottled up inside me and I am just hoping that he is okay with what has to be.  Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday on his shoulder and hopefully as soon as we know more about his ankle we can take care of that really soon.  A little trip to Hawaii as a family with all of us present, is looking even better than ever.  A nice place to recover from surgery I'm thinking :)  When we get back it's on to therapy and hopefully a full medical release to allow him to go back to the people of Peru.  His mission president left President Mower with some very kind words stating that he was one of the hardest working missionaries he has ever had and that Elder Martin would definitely be in his company if he were to make a trek across the plains.  He wants Dakotah back and from what we hear that is rarely done or requested.  Usually missionaries get reassigned to the states after surgeries but the Mission President would like him back in the Lima West Peru mission.
So it's 1:00 in the morning and all this is leaving me sleepless.   His request...5 layer beefy burrito from Taco Bell!  I think I can most definitely handle that :) 
Now if I can just forget for that I'm going to have to say goodbye again I'll be ok.
