We get asked the question, "How's Sawyer doing?" all the time by friends and family. I thought I'd put this exerpt from a personal letter to me, his mom, on the blog so you could see how he's doing in his own words. I want to thank everyone who has and is supporting Sawyer through prayers and letters.

"I love getting emails from Mikella,
Joe, and Gabe!!! I MISS YOU GUYS SSSSOOOO MUCH!!!!! But I know I’m supposed to
be here and I love it. I’m not homesick, I just think about you guys a lot. I
miss coming home and seeing y’all and I REALLY miss our little late night
talks. I’ve learned to talk to my Heavenly Father instead. Prayer is an amazing
gift. I have received answers right then and there when I pray about them. God
does answer prayers and we must have faith in him to do so.
"These past 5 months have been the
hardest of my life. They have also been the most spiritual growth I have ever
had. I hate to admit it but it has. Only because God cut me down to my knees
and made me nothing. I must submit to the father’s will. Peace, I’ve found, is a
gift of the spirit, your right, it’s something we work towards. I’m not there
yet, I’m still having a very difficult time.... but I have hope and faith that,
one day, whether in this life or the next, it will come.
"I love and miss you Mommy. Thank you
for your prayers. I have been given strength many times and I know it is because
of the support of my family and friends back home. I Love You!!!"
He is right. When we feel cut down, that is when we grow more. Good words for everyone to read!
