Help Bring Our Men Home

Last night when I was on the phone with my husband I told him that I was starting to call our different State Representative's and also President Donald J. Trump and his new cabinet picks.  I said what do I have to lose by trying?  His response back to me hit me hard, he said, "I have my family to lose if you don't try." He is hundred percent correct.  If my husband is convicted on these false trumped up charges then he could spend up to 96 years in prison.  He will never be able to be with his family again.  This is to heartbreaking to think about and I will not stop working until he is home where he belongs.

On a daily basis I have so many people tell me, "If there is anything I can do for you, then please let me know."  Well, I am asking for your help now.  I am asking that you write letters to the new presidency asking them to look into this case.  Then I ask that you call your elected officials and have them look into the case.  The more letters and calls the better.  All of these men are not guilty of anyone of the charges that they are being charged with. They did none of those things. The prosecutors have no evidence against these men.  These men have been denied bail and their constitutional rights to a speedy trial.    These men have been imprisoned for almost a year now.  It is way past time for them to come home.  Please help these men come home and be reunited with their families so they can prepare for a fair trial.  This is your time to help and let your voices be heard.

Please, write President Donald J Trump, The Honorable Jeff Sessions Attorney General and then write and call your State elected officials and ask them to stand up for these mens freedoms and liberties by sending them home to their families.

Blessings and Trials

Blessings
I first want to start out by saying how much we have been blessed this holiday season and this past year.  Our family is so grateful for the love that has been shown to us during the Holidays and throughout this past year.  Words can't describe how thankful we are for your thoughtfulness toward our family.  We have been blessed with so many kind acts by so many individuals.  Thank you for your cards, prayers, meals, donations, gifts, services and so many other acts of kindness.  You have definitely helped to lighten our load and bring happiness into our home.  It was so wonderful to see the children's faces on Christmas morning.  They all had big smiles on their faces and excitement in their voices. This made Dave and I so happy. We love you and thank you all for your kindness and love.

Trials
Just before Christmas we received some heartbreaking news.  The Judge who is managing the Nevada Case decided that there was no way that all 17 defendants could be tried on February 6th. She decided because there was so many defendants going to trial that she would break them up into three different groups and have three different trials.  All 17 defendants were ready to go to trial on February 6th.  These men have been imprisoned for over 10 months and are ready to be reunited with their families again.  But sadly the Judge decided that Dave along with his brother Mel and four others would be put into the last group to go to trial.  Which means that Dave probably will not be going to trial until August of 2017.

Dave has already been away from our family for ten long months now.  If he doesn't go to trial until August then that is at least another ten long months. This means that it will be almost two years that our family will have been wrongly separated. This trial is not getting any easier only harder.  I feel for Dave who longs for his children's hugs and kisses.  And I feel so badly for our children who miss a daddy who freely gave his love to his children with lots of hugs and kisses.  His family means everything to him and he is our hero.  The thought of him not coming home soon is almost unbearable and we are trying to just take it one day at a time.

Even though this trial is extremely hard we will never stop believing and having faith that our Heavenly Father is ultimately in control and that our Daddy will be home soon.  Below is a picture of what our Santa's cookies looked like this past Christmas.  I love the faith that our daughter has and that her faith is unwavering.  She will never give up on her daddy! She is one of her daddy's biggest Cheerleaders.

Dave and I are blessed with six beautiful children who are doing their best to hold on to the faith that their daddy will be home soon.  These children have cried many tears for their daddy.  They miss him and want him home so badly.  But they are doing their best to staying strong for their daddy.  Please continue to do the same with us.  Please continue to pray that our Dad and the other patriots will be returned home soon.  We want to wish our dad a Happy Birthday on Saturday and let him know that we love him and miss him.  We are proud of him for staying so strong. We pray that on his Birthday he will be comforted and be able to find some happiness.   We love you DAVE BUNDY!  Keep staying strong.  You will be home soon.  Families are Forever.

Where are you Christmas?

For some time now, family and friends have been praying for a Christmas Miracle.  We so want our Dad, Grandpa, Uncles and the other political prisoners to come home for Christmas.  Last night before our ten year old daughter went to bed she gave me a letter and asked me to get it mailed as soon as possible.  I was thinking it was a letter to her dad or maybe her Grandpa.  Below is the letter:

When I read this innocent letter my heart just started to break again into a million pieces.  These children of ours all are still holding onto the hope of the Christmas miracle that their daddys will be home for Christmas.  I must admit I am also hoping for that miracle.  Please continue to pray for the Judge that her heart will be softened and she will be able to help our Christmas wish come true.  We only have 12 more days left until Christmas. 

With only a little over a week before Christmas I have to admit though that I have not gotten into the Christmas Spirit this year.  I just want my husband to be home.  Everytime I think of Christmas I just want to bawl.  It just doesn't seem right to have Christmas without him.  But after I talked with him on the phone tonight he told me that I must try harder to get into the Christmas Spirit.  He wants his children to be happy on Christmas Day and be excited about all of the festivities of the holiday season. We do not want them to suffer this Christmas and feel sorrow.  These children should not have to suffer and feel sad during this season.  They are hurting enough without their daddies.  Please continue to pray for our family and all of the other political prisoners families that we will do our best to enjoy this Christmas season.  Pray for the men that they may be able to find joy also this Christmas season.
 
God Bless you all who have helped our families this Christmas season.  We appreciate your Christlike love toward our family.  We hope someday soon we will be able to pay it forward. You have demonstrated what Christmas is all about, "The spirit of giving without a thought of getting." Our family wants to wish you and all your families a very merry Holiday Season.  We must remember that God is a God of miracles and he is ultimately in charge but we must learn to find happiness along the way.

Christmas Spirit

On Saturday, I was able to go down to the rally in Pahrump, Nevada over the weekend.  It was amazing to be able to see all of the wonderful and caring supporters that we have.  Thank you all for supporting our family and all of the political prisoners. 

I was so grateful that I was able to see my sweet husband on Saturday.  I love him so much.  I  enjoyed all 65 minutes talking with him through the monitor and I could have just stayed there forever talking with him. He loves to talk about our children and always wants to make sure that they are happy .  He always tells me how lucky and blessed he is to have the family that he has.  I always tell him back that we are also lucky and blessed to have him in our family.

We talked about Christmas during our visit.  I know it was hard for him and I to talk about it because we just want him to come home for the holidays.  Dave loves, loves Christmas.  He loves to see his children's happy faces on Christmas Day. He has always loved buying gifts for everyone.  He would always buy gifts and give them to family and friends but then he would also give gifts to complete strangers. His greatest joy comes from seeing others happy.  When I was talking with him he told me that for the next couple of weeks that he won't be ordering commissary for himself but instead he is going to buy as many snicker candy bars as he can so that on Christmas Day he can hand out snicker bars to everyone in his pod.  He said he might not have enough by Christmas so he might have to break them in half.  This is how my husband is.  He is always thinking of others.  Isn't this what Christmas is all about.  I am so grateful that I am married to a husband who is always thinking of others.  But it also makes me hurt to think that the only thing these men might get on Christmas Day is a snickers bar.  I wonder how many of us would be happy with just a snickers bar? 

Yesterday, our 13 year old daughter asked me when her dad's next detention hearing was going to be?  I told her I wasn't sure but maybe after Christmas. She wanted to know why it couldn't be before Christmas?  I kept trying to explain to her that Christmas was just around the corner and there might not be enough time to have one.  Nothing, I said was a good enough reason for her.  She finally just said, "I NEED MY DAD HOME FOR CHRISTMAS."   I left the room crying because as parents you always want to try to make your children's Christmas wishes come true.  These children need their daddy to come home.  We need a miracle.

I am asking all of you to please pray that we might witness a miracle this Friday.  All of the defendants are going to go before the judge for a status hearing on the case on Friday morning in Las Vegas.  My husband has not had a hearing for seven months now.  He has not left the Detention Center since May.  Please pray for these men as they travel to Las Vegas for their hearing that they will travel in safety.  Pray for them that they might be able to witness a tender mercy at the hearing.  Also, pray for the lawyers that they will have guidance from the spirit to convey the truth to the Judge.  Lastly, please pray for the Judge that she will be able to see that these men are not guilty and release them to go home to their families for the holidays.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is the time of the year where we reflect on our many blessings that God has given us. I have so many blessings to be grateful for.  I have a wonderful husband that loves and adores me and I love him tremendously.  We are blessed with six beautiful children that strive everyday to do what is right.  I am surrounded by wonderful and caring family, friends, church members and patriots.  I am so grateful for each and everyone of them.  I am grateful for the patriot community that have done so much for our family and others during this time of need.    I am grateful that we have shelter, food and clothing.  I am grateful for this Country and thankful for the men and women who protect our freedoms.  I am thankful for all of your prayers and fasting on our families behalf.  I am grateful for the letters of encouragement that you write to my husband and myself.  I am thankful for the gospel and its teachings. I am grateful for God and thankful for all of the tender mercies that he has granted to our family.

But even though we have been blessed tremendously there is still one more blessing that I want more than anything and that is to have my dear sweet husband come home. We miss him extremely bad and cry for him daily.  Our hearts are torn without him.  Please continue to pray for this blessing for him to be able to come home and all of the other political prisoners can also go home to their families.

The upcoming holidays will be a challenge on our family.  I know with our Heavenly Father's help and family and friends that we somehow will make it through the Holidays.  But I cried on Halloween so I am sure I will cry again on Thanksgiving.  I can't imagine what Dave and the other political prisoners feel like during the Holidays.  It must be so hard for them to not be home with their little children and spouses.  Please continue to pray for them.

The kids and I so wanted to make Dave his favorite pies which are cherry and coconut cream.  But of course the detention center where Dave is will not allow that.  I pray that they will at least serve them a piece of pie and real turkey (not soy) on Thanksgiving Day.  So the kids and I had to come up with some creative ways to tell Dave we love him and Happy Thanksgiving.  In the detention center you are only allowed to send letters, pictures or soft covered books from an online bookstore.  So we decided to take a big picture of us holding up a message for Dave.  We also decided to make him a blessing tree with all of our fingerprints on the tree.  We assigned each child a color so their dad would know what fingerprint was theirs.

Our family wishes all of you a Happy Thanksgiving and always remember that there is always something to be grateful for.  I thank God everyday for all of you that have blessed our family tremendously.  May God bless each and everyone one of you and your families. 

Love, The Dave Bundy Family

Our visit to our Daddy!

A couple weeks ago the children and I were able to go down to Pahrump, Nevada to visit Dave at the Southern Nevada Detention Center where he is locked away from his family.

The visit is through a monitor like the picture below.  Each inmate is allowed one visit per week which is one hour long. Inmates can request an extended visit for visitors traveling from out of the state. Extended visits must be approved prior to the visit. Since we live in Utah we were able to get an extended visit. 


I am so grateful for these extended visits which end up being a two hour visit.  Each of our six children are able to have twenty minutes by themselves to talk with their Dad.  It was great to see Dave but it was also extremely hard at the same time.  We just want to touch him and give him lots of hugs and kisses.  The kids and I asked Dave if he wanted us to sing a song to him.  He of course said yes and we started to sing I am a Child of God.  Dave immediately broke down into tears and couldn't stop crying.  This literally crushed all of our hearts.  I looked at each of our children who were all crying and I could see the sadness in their faces.  We were able to sing several more songs to him and ended in a family prayer. 

As we were driving away from the detention center our daughter, Maysa started to bawl.  I asked her what was wrong and she said,  "I have never seen my dad like that before.  I have never seen him crying like he did."  I told her that her dad felt the spirit and was so grateful that he has been blessed with such a wonderful family that he loves so much.

When I got back to Utah there was a letter for me in the mailbox from Dave.  He said, "My dear sweet love.  I too enjoyed our visit.  It was bitter/sweet.  Bitter because I can't hold you and our kids and I see the pain and confusion in their eyes.  Sweet because you came to see me and I got to hear your voices.  I thank Heavenly Father everyday for the family he has blessed me with."

During this month of November, please remember each and everyday to be grateful for everything you have.  Especially be grateful for your families and loved ones.  Always love one another and be thankful for each other.  Please continue to pray for all of the political prisoners and their families. These next couple of months are not going to be easy for them to be separated from each other during the holidays.  If you are able to lighten their loads either through service, prayer or donations that would be wonderful.   May God bless you all and your families for your love and support to all of us.

NOT GUILTY

On Thursday afternoon we received the wonderful news that all seven defendants in the Oregon trial were all found not guilty of the charges they were being charged with. We are grateful for God and for his divine intervention during this trial.  We know that God is ultimately in charge and that he is also a God of Miracles.  We are thankful for the jury members who were able to see the truth through all of the lies.  We know that the truth will always prevail. We are indeed grateful for all of the support that these defendants and their families received during this trial.  There were many of you that supported them through prayer, fasting, donations, letters, rally's and visits.  We can not say thank you enough for all of your support during this trial.  May God Bless you all.

I have had so many people ask me what happens to Dave now?  Dave was not involved in the Oregon trial. He has twelve charges against him from the peaceful protest that took place in Nevada in April of 2014.   Dave is not guilty of any of these charges and was only exercising his First Amendment rights.  His trial along with seventeen others is supposed to begin on February 7, 2017. Dave has now been wrongly imprisoned for 8 months.

This picture is of Dave that was taken in April of 2014, while peacefully exercising his         

1st Amendment Rights.

Please continue to pray and support all of the families that have loved ones that have been wrongfully imprisoned.  These next several months are not going to be easy on the defendants or their families especially during the holidays. We pray for the defendants and their families that they will be given the strength to endure.  We pray that they will be given a jury that will not be afraid to stand up for what is right and be able to see the truth.  We pray for the defense lawyers that they will be able to reveal the truth. We pray for God to be with us always and that the truth will prevail.
