Gout.
Keep the commandments and read your Book of Mormon
We Love Y'all,
Elder and Sister Owens
PS: Before the gout set in we had a tender mercy on Monday. Cedric's bed was a little short for him so we were going to get some bricks to put under the legs. We stopped at the bargain box first thing and they had a bed board for a bunk bed. They let us have it for $5. We were getting some rope from them to tie it to the luggage rack on the car and the lady right before us in line asked where we were taking it. We told her and she said, "I have a pickup. Just throw it in the back and I will follow you over." We went over and put it under his mattress and when he got home from therapy he sent a text thanking us and said it was just right.
We took the sisters to district council in Tuscaloosa on Tuesday. I was hobbling along behind everybody wondering why my feet hurt so much. Then Wednesday morning when I woke up I noticed that I couldn't put any weight on my left foot. By Thursday afternoon I really wanted to get to Book of Mormon class in Greensboro so we went. It set me back a little so I spent Friday and Saturday in the chair with my foot up. The gout was all gone by Sunday morning but I am having trouble with my heal again and it caused a lot of pain to try to walk. I decided I better stay home from church but thought I would put on my old shoes first and see how it felt. I could walk with them with very little pain so we went to church. Our Gospel Principles class was really good. Two young ladies from the college over in Livingston were there for the second time. They came the week before Conference and they both watched all the sessions of Conference last week. They are both on date for baptism in the coming weeks.
