Jenny and Aaron told us via speakerphone after she asked that the family be together last evening at exactly 7pm. She had Sarah go get two packages that where wrapped in different christmas paper from a hidden location. JJ was told to give John the one with christmas bears on it. He unwrapped a pink blanket and the smile he gave was huge. So he had 
a good night last night.He is resting most of the day but I am reading the comments from the blog and emails to him every now and then that all you wonderful people send our way. We are truly blessed. Love, Nila

Wonderful news on the granddaughter! Little girls are fabulous. Prayers for John, you and your whole family are being lifted up to God from your St Elijah family and many many pray groups.
All our love,

After having the pleasure of working with Jenny in our Wichita branch I was thrilled to see she's having a girl. Steve Wilkening keeps up posted on what's going on with you all, and constantly reminds us to keep praying. My thoughts and prayers are with you all daily. Brenda Phillips- P.B. Hoidale Co.
Congrats! I would really like to come visit some time if possible, just don't know when and I don't want to disrupt you all. Please be assured you are all in my prayers and thoughts. God is good and merciful. May He protect your family and especially John during this time with strength, hope, and faith. I know it is early, however, we must all remember, Christ is Risen!
God bless+

Congratulations on the wonderful granddaughter news! Of course, Fr. Mark and I love girls! I woke up through out the night last night praying for your whole family. What a privilege to pray for such servants of God! May you all be sheltered under the Shadow of the Most High. Peace and Rest to you this day. We love you! Susan
Congratulations on the upcoming Granddaughter! Granddaughters are wonderful little things. John, Nila and the rest of the family, be assured you are thought of continuously and in my prayers as well. so much has happened to my fellow co-workers, whether old ones or new ones in the last couple of years it has made me appreciate life so much! John, we have had some wonderful conversations and most of them have helped me tremendously - you may remember some of them that you helped me with. God Bless you and your family......Sandi W.
That is great that God has blessed you both with a new Granddaughter! I am glad that John was happy and enjoyed the great news. That helps a lot to concentrate on the happy times and leave it in God's "Big" hands. Remember that with God everything is possible. Mike and I, and the rest of our family pray for God's Blessing for you and John. The following may help. With my Dad, the thing that helped him the most was relying on God in prayer and concentrating on those happy times. Believe it or not the nurses taking care of my Dad in the hospital decided to follow Christ, because of his example of determination towards God. You never know God's will and how you will impact someone else's life.
God Bless and Love,
Michael, Stacy, Cassiane, and Elias Buzan
