Update on Elder Colton

Just wanted to give everyone an update on what has been going on in Elder Colton's mission and other endeavors. We apologize that it has been awhile since we have put anything on here, but there have been some things that have happened that has prevented us from posting anymore. To bring everyone up to speed, Elder Colton was sent home on an Honorable Medical Release in the middle of January and has been home since. He has now been home for about two months and is getting with the right doctors and is trying to move on with his life. This adjustment has been hard and difficult at times, but Jordan has not given up and continues to live through each day with a positive attitude and happy outlook on life. He still keeps in contact with members and missionaries that are out in North Carolina and was happy to find out that one of the investigators that him and Elder Fairbanks were teaching is now baptized! Ed finally took the step into baptism and we are all so happy that he finally made that decision! Once Jordan got home he met with the Stake President and was called to serve as a Service Missionary at our local Cannery and he works there two to three times a week helping people with their food storage and getting things out to the needy. He truly enjoys it a lot and feels that he is still making a difference in a small way. He wishes to thank everyone for their support and reading of his blog, and when i sent him emails each week he was so happy to hear that so many people were interested in how missionary work went for him and that he had so much love from home. Jordan says that he would like to keep this blog going if he can think of any exciting news and also that we might want to keep if for when the next brother goes out on a mission we can keep this going and have tabs on what they are going to be doing on their mission. I love all of you and thank you so much for helping my son serve an honorable mission and praying for him and helping in ways that we may never know!
