This past weekend, Chris' dad, Brad, was visiting some property he owns in northern Nevada. He was on his farm with his friend and he was riding his 4-wheeler, going about 40 mph. It hit a deep hole and he fell off and it trampled over him. He was in the middle of nowhere, so it is truly difficult to get help. His friend, who happened to be the bishop, gave him a blessing then went to go look for help...which he happened to run into somebody on the road...which never happens. After laying there in pain for 3 hours the ambulence got him and took him to a small first aid place. In the middle of the night they flew him over to Las Vegas to get real help in a hospital. So, we were able to see him. He broke 6 ribs, his leg, and totally ruined his ankle. They had to do surgery on him and put pins in his ankle. So, he is in pain, but he was able to go home Sunday night. Michele, Cody, and Megan came up to see him, too. So, it was a visit which you hope doesn't come that way, but we were still glad to see everybody, and be able to help Brad. So keep him in your prayers!
His family had to let Brad rest and sleep and couldn't stay in the half room all day, so we went out to dinner with everybody (even though we all felt bad for leaving him...but he needed his rest). So, of course we went to Cheesecake Factory.

I am so sorry to hear about Brad. I love that man and he will definately be in our prayers. Keep me posted and tell him that I said hello and get well!!! :)
Get better soon Bishop Dennis!!!
I always remember Brad as being such a great guy. I'm so sorry that happened to him!! We'll all keep him in our thoughts and prayers!! Let us all know how he's doing. Shane and Matthew had a 4-wheeler accident once....and it was so scary. Shane had stitches from ear to ear....but Matthew only had bruises and bumps. Enough depressing talk, huh?? On to The Cheesecake Factory....(ha ha) The other night, one of my good friends brought me a piece of banana cheesecake from there & it was sooooo delicious. (in case you haven't tried that one yet....) YUM..... Anyway, take care of yourselves!!
Holy Cow, I am so sorry. I am glad to hear he was able to get to a hospital. I wish him and your family all the best! We will be sure to keep him in our prayers.
