Hey everyone!
I just wanted to leave you a quick update on how I'm doing. I am done with my 45 days at Remuda Ranch in Wickenburg, Arizona and it was really good and really helpful. I learned a lot and worked really hard to get healthy both physically and mentally. Now I'm in Chandler, Arizona at Remuda Life. Remuda Life is a housing environment and there is a lot more freedom then there was at Remuda Ranch. At the Ranch I was monitored all the time, after meals, before meals, during meals, in between meals, etc... it was crazy but really necessary too. Now I don't have any monitoring, I just eat with my roommates. We take turns cooking which I haven't started yet because I'm still new but I'll start next week. Also, I'm 10 minutes away from my home and starting Sunday, I get to start going home every once in awhile... I'm so excited.
I got to see Brayden and Jack on Sunday for the first time in 45 days, it was such a joyful reunion. I was filled with so much love and satisfaction and gratitude. They looked great and seemed to be doing wonderfully so if you are one of the many people that have helped my family I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I feel so unworthy with all the love and support I have received. There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't receive mail, packages or cards. I felt, and still feel, very loved. I have the greatest ward, neighbors, friends, and family in the entire world. I can NEVER thank you all enough for what you have done for me and what you have shown me. The service alone is indescribable. Just know that I love you and that I will never be the same because of you.
I love the Lord. I have grown so close to him and I realize that I will never be able to recover unless I lean on him... a lot. He loves us all, just as we are, at this moment. His love is unconditional and goes with us even when we sin.
I'm excited because on Sunday I get to go to church with Jon and the kids, I've really missed my ward and my church. So unless something changes, I'll see some of you on Sunday!
Again, thanks for all your support, it's unbelievable. May God bless all of you, and I know he will :-)
Love you all,
TC
