Dear Family and Friends,
We have some unfortunate, mixed news about Kiley. For those who haven't heard already, Kiley has been suffering with some intestinal and stomach problems for the past couple of weeks. She has been trying to get better, but her condition has worsened to the point that she is too weak to physically do the missionary work she has enjoyed so much. We found out tonight that her mission president has consulted the Missionary Department in Salt Lake and has felt inspired that Kiley should return home to seek treatment for an unspecified period of time. That is all we know so far. We will find out more details in the next day or two as to when she is returning home and let you all know.
Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. This will be a big adjustment for Kiley similar to when she left. She will appreciate all of your love and support. Please understand that leaving her mission is like coming off a spiritual high and can be a little confusing and overwhelming. She has learned and grown a lot, enjoyed the people she has met and taught, and is really sad about leaving Canada. However, she knows she is not well enough to continue to be effective as a full-time missionary. Our focus will be helping her get better and helping her transition to whatever Kiley decides is next for her. Life does not always go according to our plans, but we have faith that Heavenly Father will bless us and guide us over the next few days and weeks.
Sincerely,
Tom and Shannon Rexinger
