Progress!

Today we were updated with the news that Zerin now has feeling in the bottom of his feet, and can move both thumbs! This is tremendous news. Zerin is such a positive person, full of life, and a hard worker.

We know he can and will make more progress. It may be slow, but he'll get there.

Not long after he had his accident, a gentleman took the time to drive up to the Boy Scout camp where Zerin's father, Chris, was working. He spoke with Chris, wanting to let him know that he had suffered the same type of injury as his son. The doctors told him he would be paralyzed, and never walk again.

He said it took over a year to start to get some movement back; now, not only can he walk, but he can run! The message that he gave us was to never give up, that Zerin can be healed.

We have the same faith and home, here in Zerin's home ward, and also within our home. My nine-year-old son, at each and every prayer he gives, mealtime or evening prayers, he always includes Zerin and says, "please bless that Zerin will recover soon and be able to get back on his mission".

Oh, the faith of a child is so pure. . . I pray that his prayers will be answered, that the faith of my child will fulfilled.
