Still Sick

Well in all letters and info we have received from Tyler says he is still sick he has pneumonia. He has had a hard time breathing and his heart beat is irregular but besides that he has been inspired. Spite him being sick he is still growing in so many ways.
He told my mom a story that will blow your mind he said " One day I was heading down some stairs and past some fellow elders I said Hi and walked on by but as I walked on by I felt like I should go back I continued down the stairs but the feeling became stronger so I went back. I asked them if every thing was ok they said yes, but I knew there was something so I asked again is everything ok? then I looked at the Elder and said disbelieving your beliefs, you are missing your parents you are missing your girl you want to go home and then he said how did you know i said the spirit told me and you need to stay here you have important work to do I went back up to see if he was ok and his companion pulled me a side and said I was an answer to his prayers he was praying for someone to come help his companion to tell him he was a good missionary and that he was here for a reason I was so astonished. Then elder N. came and said thank you for making him realize and bring his hopes up again that he was thankful that if it were not for me he was going to go home tomorrow and now he is staying and I told him don't thank me thank god because I was just the messenger. Then he said if you didn't listen to him he would have been gone and this experience was the most powerful thing I have ever felt I am so glad I can listen to the spirit and to do what is right I love and I know everything will be ok."
So now you know how much he is growing we know he is in the right place and time and just hope he will get better soon.

Elder Somerville

Elder Tyler Somerville left for the missionary training center (MTC) on Oct. 27th 2009. He was called to the Recife Brazil Mission. This blog will keep everyone updated on his progress.
So far he is doing great EXCEPT for a five day bout of Swine Flu courtesy of his new little niece Dani, he spent 5 days in isolation were he said "he was board to tears" the only thing he could do there was sleep study and watch conference addresses on T.V. . He also complained that the food was bad so Crystal sent him munchie baskets and pumpkin pie to lift his spirits.
He has explained to us all that he WILL be following all the rules to insure returning with HONOR. He has told us that he has been made a senior champion because of his obedience to the rules and we are all very proud.
