New Friends in Colorado

The Littleton 5th Ward have been absolutely amazing for our family. They have brought the sacrament into Josh every Sunday, come to visit in the week, brought tons of laughs, inspiration, and lots of love. This week the Sabeys, Gibbs, and Adams brought some Christmas gifts for the kids but most of all shared sincere love and concern for our family. They have touched our hearts and made us want to be better people-Thanks!

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.
