Anson has not slept a full night since arriving in Snohomish ( 3 months). The bed he was given to sleep on was not kind to his back and we woke up sore every morning. I could see he was not getting enough sleep.
I mentioned this to a very kind member lady named Wendy Ogden who would send me pics when she had the missionaries over for dinner. She has a special place in her heart for Anson and got right on it.
She pulled up the Buy Nothing group on FB that she is a member of and up popped a gently used twin mattress!! She asked for the mattress and was chosen by the giver! They shoved it in the back of Ansons car and he took it home! He has been sleeping ALOT better on this mattress.
Before that we had sent him 2 different mattress toppers to try that didn't work.
Its little tender mercies that Im thankful for! The members in WA have been so incredible caring and loving. They have taken such good care of the missionaries that it really helps ease my heart as a parent.
Also want to put here that the Jones family, who he ate with every Monday, came to UT for a family reunion and stopped by our house to say hello! It was so great to meet all the kids and they got to play with Anson's bird and see his dog and where he lived. I took them all out for a sno cone. This family is Anson's favorite and he misses them already!
