Great to hear from Jake on Christmas Day!

Super fun for our family to visit with Elder Jake on Christmas. He is doing well in Arizona. Actually we are wondering if we are ever going to get him to come home! He has a great companion, Elder Lundgreen, from Kaysville, Utah. They are working hard and blessed with much success in Arizona! Sister Beck thank you for feeding Christmas brunch to these fine young men, they and we love you all so much. We love you, miss you, and are so proud of you Jake.

melba said...: I love the new pics and how happy Jake looks. You are Elder Handsome and it is also great to see Elder Lundgreen and Pres. & Sister Beck. They may be the finest mission presidents in the world.

To all the Colorado Packs, thanks for putting the news and pictures on. And never forget how many people continue to pray for you and exercise faith in your behalf. May it give you strength for one more day and may you feel of all our love as well as the Savior's love.
I am sending more love than yesterday but less than tomorrow,

Josh was spending the day with his family at the Holmes family reunion. They were all having some 'fun in the sun' at Pineview Reservoir. Josh had been impressing everyone with his wakeboarding skills and took a couple bad wrecks. Later that day he was swimming off the shore at Middle Inlet with his brothers Justin and Colton. Josh was standing in the water almost to his waist when he did a swimmers dive to go in for a swim. Josh remembers hitting the sand. He was instantly paralyzed and was not able to come up. His brothers swimming close by noticed his back arched and his head under and wondered what he was doing, they swam over to him and helped him out to the shore, Josh coughed up some water, and told them he thought he was drowning. Justin touched Josh's leg and he could not feel them. 911 was called immediately, within 4-5 min. the paramedics were there and called life-flight. Josh was transported to the Hospital.
