"Wherefore, whoso believeth in God might with surety hope for a better world, yea, even a place at the right hand of God, which hope cometh of faith, maketh and anchor to the souls of men, which would make them sure and steadfast, always abounding in good works, being led to glorify God." Ether 12:4

Chugging Along

Hello family and friends! Another week has flown by and not much has changed at the Loser home. Dad is still chugging along - he had chemo this last Thursday and has felt nauseus and fatigued - same old thing as before. He is having fun planning the Hawaii trip and dreaming of all the things they will do on island(s). At this point, dad still really wants to swim (and who wouldn't?) so he's weaning himself off the pain pump and on to othere pain forms, such as tablets, oral drops, and patches. That means he will have the PICC line removed from his arm before they go. As for the chemo, He's likely not going to have any other appointments this month to give him some time to recover and feel better before leaving on the trip, so we're excited to see if he starts to feel a little better!

Everything else is going pretty okay - Isaac, (the one and only grandchild), got to stay the night this weekend at grandma's house and my how we love him! Elder Cameron Loser continues to do well in Mexico on his mission - if any of you feel so inclined to join us, we like to send him little notes of love and inspiration at csloser@gmail.com. We admire his testimony and faith that God loves us all and wants us all to return to Him when this life is over. We are so grateful for all our blessings, both those we have received and those we anticipate ;)

Thank you for your continued support,
The Losers
