Because I know prayers work...even from strangers.

Meet our friends Caitlin and Ammon. They moved to Kingman about the same time as us and were in our ward until just recently, after buying a new house in another ward. Caitlin and Ammon had been trying for 3 years for a baby and this spring, they were blessed to become pregnant. Their little girl was due in December, but in a sudden change of events, she was born early yesterday morning. More than 3 months early.

Little baby Sharon was flown from Kingman to Phoenix shortly after being born and is a tiny, perfect, and feisty little thing! Read about her, pray for her, and please pray for our friends. You can see the joy in Caitlin's face and I am in awe of her positive attitude and strength. I have seen miracles happen in situations like this and I know prayer is an incredible source of aid, comfort, and healing!!

Thanks for posting this. I wanted to write about it but wasn't sure if I should. You inspire me!

We will keep Baby Shari and her family and doctors in our prayers!

Wow, doesn't this remind us of someone else we know? I hope Baby Sharon is as strong and healthy as Little Scarlett! It's incredible to see (pics of) Scarlett now, you wouldn't even know she had been born so early! I pray that in another year or two, people will be saying the same thing about Sharon. :)

For sure I'll keep her in my prayers!

My friend and I were due one week apart with our 2nd babies. Her little one was born at 26 weeks, it broke my heart to see her! She was the size of a barbie doll! Little Ava has fought harder then any child should, but today she is here, happy & healthy!
It's a roller coaster but like you said, miracles happen!

P.S. Your face looks awesome! I love the burn! It's awesome!

Thanks for sharing, I will be praying for them. I almost cried looking at that teeny tiny baby and teeny tiny footprints! I am so glad that modern medicine can do what it does for babies now. And prayer of course, the best of all. :)
