Hi Shelsi,
Please know that I am thinking positive thoughts for you.  Anna is praying for you also. You have such a wonderful spirit.  All of your life you have radiated a sweet beauty.  I knowyou will conquer this.  Much love to you,

Hey Shelsi, i havent talked to or seen anyone down there for a long time.  I'd surely like to go down there, if it wasnt for work.  Anywho, i've been getting updates from my mom about everything.  Its not very good news to hear about for the first time in 5 or 6 years but what can ya do.  People must really be rootin for ya if Nodyah (haydon, my brother) is beeing so nice, ive never heard him be so nice, so you must be special.  This cancer business sucks but I know you'll beat it, its in our genes to succeed, thats how the big leagues do it.  Ive graduated from high school now, i got second highest on my social diploma exam with an 89%  The only person that beat me was a burnt out stoner with 94%, funny eh.
Anyhow ive writin above my average length of things so i'll end this.  So you get better for when I finally get down there.  And tell andrew to send me up a desert eagle airsoft gun, I have about 8 guns but i still want that one. Later eh!!

I love you Sweet Candy Shell! There's a missionary in Germany praying her heart out for you!!!!!! ''Cause I'm sweet, right?''

Hi Shelsi,

I've been reading along on your website after receiving your dad's email.  I'm so glad to hear that things are going well with your treatment and that you'll get to go home soon.  I'm really moved by how much your family loves you - it pours out through the words they've written.  You guys are so incredibly blessed to have each other!  I'm also uplifted to hear about how you're tolerating all these scary procedures and I can only hope that if faced with those same situations, I would be able to channel a little of your courage and patience.  So, thank you for touching my life and please know that I'm thinking of you and sending you bountiful wishes for wellness.

love,
Jessica

Hey Shelsi!  It's me, Shelsi!  How you doin?  How's the hospital food treating you?  It's gotta be getting old now, huh?  Ok, I'll be serious now.  I just wanted to let everyone know how much I appreciate all of your kind comments, prayers, letters, balloons, flowers, pajamas, labor, driving to visit, and any other sort of support given.  My heart is so full to think of how much everyone is giving of themselves and their time and thinking and praying for me.  I am so deeply touched.  You all are in my prayers as well.  I don't know how I would be taking this if it weren't for my upbringing in the gospel, my faith in God and knowledge of The Plan of Salvation, the many family and friends as well as strangers who are praying for me and supporting me, doctors and nurses, and all of the positive attitudes of everyone.  There is nothing I want more than for others who have trials or may come upon trials in the future to be able to endure them with just as much love and prayers as I have been so very blessed to receive.  I love you all and am eternally grateful to you.  I hope each and every one of you are doing well and loving life like I am.
