I'm having one of my difficult decision weeks. We have a young man who has diabetes. His A1c has been very high. Because he can't seem to get it down in the mission, we'd decided to send him home to get things under control. He's scheduled to go home on Saturday. In the meantime his mother has called and written a long letter to the mission president trying to change our minds. He has supposedly been approved for a new CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) that keeps a constant check of his levels and adjusts the pump accordingly. So now we're wondering if we can get that taken care of here, or if he still needs to go home, get his levels under control and then come back. Basically the stress comes with me being the one giving advice to the Mission President, and hoping it's the right advice. I hate to send someone home, but I'd hate to keep him and he not do better. Monday , Dec. 11. The Elder decided he wanted to go home and left on Saturday.
There's an area right next to where we live that has beautiful older homes. With columns and sun porches, etc. They're starting to decorate for Christmas and they're so pretty. I'm going to take pictures the next time we go through there. We really love being here. We could see ourselves staying if we didn't have family we miss and love! Besides that, the only thing missing is mountains. It's really easy to get turned around here without the mountains to get our bearings!
