Dear kids, this is Mom. Congratualations to Jarom and Jen. I'm so glad their baby is doing well. I hope to hear from Angela one of these days soon. I've been talking to people involved with Joey in France. He's still depressed and he has a month to feel better or they are sending him home. Pray for him. this doctor who's a member of the church is treating him with flax seed oil. I had arranged to send him medicine, but they won't let him be treated with medicine over there, so pray the flax seed oil works. Other than that, Andrew and Jacob seem to be doing fine. I have realized lately than I haven't quite got the boys raised yet, and I don't think I'll ever get beyond worrying about all you kids. All I can do is worry and pray, as far as Joe is concerned, anyway. His mission pres went to bat for him and got him another month. Church policy is to send them home. He likes the kid, anyway. I feel just awful, but I love him and hope he gets better. We've lived through worse things, though. I love you all. Love, Mom
