We believe Meresiana came early for a purpose-our water pipes had frozen at our house and the 2nd night we were in the hospital a fire started at our house from the space heater meant to thaw the pipes. We were blessed that our friend Isei spotted the smoke in our home and called Saki that night. If we had not been in the hospital we may have not woken up and could have inhaled lots of smoke, or worse. We were blessed that our ward took care of all of our needs-gave us housing, a car (our heater is broken), and helped clean (LOTS of Laundry!!!) and pack everything in the house. Saki and I are overwhelmed by their kindness and Christlike service towards our little family. We stayed at a friends for a week, and found an apartment by the end of the week-which is amazing for Vernal. My mom came up the following Monday and cleaned and cleaned and the place is nice now-all of our smoky things are in the 3rd bedroom with the window open and fan on and seem to be airing out. We really haven't lost much, and are so grateful for the love and concern of all our friends. We are doing well-besides a lack of sleep from so much to do and newborn baby eating and fussing, but we are happy and thank God for watching over us.
