Elder Jessee's Medical Release


Elder Jessee became very ill after only 7 weeks in the field.  He was diagnosed with Thyroiditis (sp?) and bordering on Hypothyrodism.  Apparently his family has a history of thyroid problems.  The doctors say it will take at least 6 to 8 months to get to feeling well enough to come back, so he was given a medical release.  Salt Lake told us that there is a 95% chance he will come back to the same mission.  We hope so!  These pictures show us at the airport with him saying our sad goodbyes!  It was really hard to see him go.  He is a sweet, talented elder and we grew to love him a lot!  It was a dark and rainy morning too!  We had to leave the mission home by 4:15 a.m. to get him to Manila airport for a 7:30 a.m. flight.
