I don’t know if any of you read the Nie Nie Dialogues, but a tragic event took place last week. Stephanie Nielson and her husband Christian went down in a small plane crash in Eastern Arizona. The pilot, and her husband’s flight instructor, Doug Kinneard, passed away due to complications from the crash. Stephanie has burns on 80% of her body; Christian’s cover 30%.

I’ve been reading Stephanie’s blog for over a year. She even featured a picture of my grandmother’s wedding here. She is a prime example of motherhood and a wonderful missionary for our Church. I thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

It was really devestating to read about the crash in the online Arizona papers. On Saturday people all over the world released balloons with wishes for a Stephanie and her family. The Nielson’s four adorable children are being taken care of by family members while Stephanie and Christian start the long battle for recovery. They are by no means out of the woods yet. But with prayers and fasting I know they will get well soon. You can read updates from Stephanie’s sister Jane on her blog here.
