Elder Marble is COMING HOME!

Elder Steven Marble is coming home!....early.  He has been injured on the mission and has been honorably released to come home 3 months early to have emergency surgery on his ankle.  He has served with such faith and obedience with a love for the members of Pima, AZ; San Manuel, NM; Tuscon, AZ; and Duncan, AZ.  We are so proud of you buddy!

When he was in high school playing football he fractured his right ankle.  Being the determined person he is, he played the rest of the season and his senior year of football with never getting it looked at.  His ankle did not heal correctly and he has had to wear an ankle brace since.  Yesterday afternoon, he was playing basketball with some members when he landed on his ankle and re-fractured the same area that never healed correctly.  He also fractured the inside of his ankle as well, there is now nothing holding his ankle together.  He will be coming home in a wheelchair and going into emergency surgery early next week. 

We are so grateful to be able to have him home tomorrow night in one piece, albeit broken.  But the Lord blesses his servants and we know He has been watching over our Elder Marble.  Welcome home Buddy!
