"I Know That He Loveth His Children, Nevertheless, I Do Not Know the Meaning of All Things!" 1 Nephi 11:17

Friends and Family!

I felt that I wanted to write this to tell all of you how grateful I am for your prayers and support since I found out that I have leukemia. This last year was quite eventful. I need to let you know that regardless of what happens in the future that I know that our Heavenly Father knows and loves each one of us.  I have been apart of and seen many miracles in the last year. I tell you this because I my cancer has returned. It is more aggressive this time, but we are going to pursue treatment. That means that I have been admitted to Huntsman for high dose chemotherapy, then in about 4 weeks they will prepare me for a bone marrow transplant. I am fortunate because one of my siblings is able to be the donor which improves my chances of survival.  I ask that you will continue to keep my family and I in your prayers and thoughts. I don't know the how and why We are chosen  for such a trial, but I do know that God loves us and each of you and knows us each individually. Stephanie and I know that it will be hard, but we know that if we are to have miracles again it will be up to HIM.  I will never be able to repay all of the love and support that I have and will yet receive, please know that I am eternally grateful and know that with out your support this would be a much more difficult journey.  I will not be able to have visitors as I did last time. The rules and treatment will be much more strict. I love you all and I testify that God and our Savior Jesus Christ love each one of us. Keep a smile and serve one another. 

Love Ronald Brent Simmons
