Daniel update

So Dennis and I got a call last night from Daniel's mission president's wife. Turns out Daniel was playing basketball and got hit in his front teeth. These are the same teeth he almost lost with his bike accident. He saw a dentist and they secured them, what ever that means. I am waiting for an email from Dan. We did find out that he is serving in Clovis New Mexico right now. The Mission president's wife did tell us he is an amazing kid, that he will be a wonderful missionary and that she and her husband are so glad he was sent to their mission. I have to say as a mom it felt good to hear. She may say that to all mom's but it still felt good. So please say some prayers that he can keep the tooth and not need any further work. He has already had root canals on both teeth so there really is not much more than can do. Our dentist friend in Japan worked hard to save those teeth. We were all very surprised in the end that they stayed in.

Poor kid! He isn't getting any breaks is he? Nice that you got to talk to someone who is there with him.
Thanks for his address too. Sarah drew/ painted a picture for him.

Sorry to hear about the teeth! Is New Mexico part of the Texas mission? I thought he was going to Texas? I'm confused. I'm just glad he is enjoying himself. He is going to be a wonderful missionary no matter where is serves!

Oh my! That ball must have been going pretty fast and hard to do that! I hope it turns out alright. And it is such a validation to a mother to hear such wonderful things about your son from a mission president. We all think that of him!
