Spinning my wheels

Thank goodness it is Friday.  Yesterday as I was cleaning out my car I heard my little boy yell Help!  I couldn't but help to just start laughing.  As I was looking at him all that came to my mind is well that is exactly how I have been feeling lately.  This last week I have felt that I have been spinning my wheels trying to get somewhere fast.  But I haven't really got anywhere because I have been stuck in a mud hole just like my son.  But as my son was yelling for me to help him I realized that is exactly what I need to be doing more.  I need to be asking for my Heavenly Father to help me and I need to have enough faith in him that he will help me and my husband get out of this hole that we are stuck in.

As the Lord’s prophet, President Monson counsels: “At times there appears to be no light at the tunnel’s end—no dawn to break the night’s darkness. … We feel abandoned, heartbroken, alone. If you find yourself in such a situation, I plead with you to turn to our Heavenly Father in faith. He will lift you and guide you. He will not always take your afflictions from you, but He will comfort and lead you with love through whatever storm you face.” 

I talked with my husband this morning.  He is in good spirits and has a great attitude.  He enjoys being with the other Political Prisoners in his pod.  They all inspire each other and give each other hope.  He is so impressed with Jerry DeLemus and the strength that he has. He loves listening to him talk from the bible and gives them mini sermons daily.  I am grateful for those men who are helping to make my husbands stay a little brighter.   

I hope everyone has a great weekend.  Enjoy this wonderful weather.  

AIRPLANES

My husband sent the kids and I a fun surprise in the mail this last week.   We didn't get letters this week but instead he made five of our kids their very own paper airplane.  My husband makes the best paper airplanes. I was teasing him and told him that Ammon is giving out pocket constitutions when people donate and maybe he could give out his signature paper airplanes.  He got a good laugh out of that.  He did tell me that he took each one of these airplanes and did practice flights with them before he mailed them off.

I want you to take a close look at these paper airplanes.  On each airplane he has the kids name on them but next to their name he makes sure that he tells each kid that he loves their momma, mother or mommy.  This made my heart melt.  I know that my husband thinks of us constantly.  I know he worries about whether we are happy or not.  He is the most unselfish man there is.  He only wants what is best for his family.

 My husband also has told me how extremely grateful he is to all of you who have shown our family much love and support in the past couple of months.  Whenever, I tell him that someone has done something for us then he immediately says, "please tell them I love them and how grateful I am for them."  And then he goes on to ask me if I put that persons name in the ledger.  So I am telling you all now that my husband loves you and he is grateful for you.

I love you Dave Bundy and I can't wait for you to be able to soar into the sky and spread your wings and fly.  You will take flight again and enjoy your freedoms just as soon as we overcome this bumpy flight that we are experiencing.

PRAY HARD

I had every intention of doing a fun post today but at 12:15 in the morning I read that the U.S. Magistrate Judge set the new trial date for February 6, 2017 for my husband and the other 18 defendants.  She also declared the case to be complex.  This ruling completely broke my heart.  I am actually numb and speechless.  What has happened to the country that I love.  What has happened to their rights for a speedy trial?  Where are the elected representatives that will stand up and fight for these men and their Constitutional rights?

The tears will not stop streaming.  All I can imagine is seeing my innocent husband locked away in a cold cell and not being able to love on his babies and his wife. I can't even imagine how I will tell our six babies that their dad might not be coming home for awhile.  I will not tell them yet.  I will not give up on my husband and his right to a pre-trial release.  I must pray now harder then I have ever prayed that these men will be released and be able to go home to their families and be able to prepare for their trial.

Elder Neal L. Anderson from the LDS Church reminded me that, "The difficulties of mortality blow against you, and evil forces lurk in the darkness, hoping to extinguish your faith.  But as you continue to make good choices, trust in God, and follow His Son, the Lord sends increased light and knowledge, and your faith becomes settled and unwavering."  I know that we need to replace our fear with faith and continue to strengthen that faith.  We need to educate ourselves and educate others.  I know that it is the Lord that is going to free our men.

Please join our family and all of the other Patriot's families in prayer.  Get on your knees and pray, pray and pray some more that these men will be given their rights for pre-trial release.  We desperately need your faith and prayers.  Please don't forget these Political Prisoners and their families.

PLEASE LET MY SWEETHEART COME HOME!

Daddys Shirts

Our children have been missing their dad extremely bad.  Dave was always the one to lay down with them at night and tuck them into bed. The kids enjoyed talking with him at night while they were laying in bed.  The nights are really hard because he is not here to hold them and tell them that everything will be ok.  I was trying to think of an idea that would help my kids get through the night.  So I thought of making his shirts into pillows.  Our nice neighbor and friend Chritine Reber sewed these pillows for our children.  They love these pillows.  My children love the fact that they can lay down at night with something that is their dad's.  Once in awhile I spray his cologne onto the pillows so they will remember him even more.  Thank you for all of your prayers and support. Continue to pray for the all the daddies to be released.  They need to be home with their children loving them and holding them and their children need them home too.

 

 

 

This picture shows that you are never to old to take a nap with your dad.

COURT

Yesterday all 19 defendants went before Magistrate Judge Peggy Leen to set a trial date.  Before we entered the court room all 19 women that were there to support the Political prisoners went into a corner and prayed.  The pray was powerful and as we entered the court room we felt the spirit.  It was actually really good to be able to see all of the political prisoners and their lawyers working together.  The men looked good.  They seemed to be happy and had smiles on their face.

  The prosecutor over and over again pleaded the governments case that this case should be ruled as complex and that the trial date should be in Febuary of 2017.  He had several reasons why he believed this.  One is that there are 19 defendants and that makes it complex right there.  He also said that they do not have all their discovery together.  He said they still need to encrypt their machines.  He said that so far they have 1.4 of terabytes of discovery.  He acted like it would take months for the defendants lawyers to be able to go through all of the information.

Our lawyers did a really good job representing the defendants.  Ryan Bundy did an excellent job representing himself and defending the other defendants rights.  Fourteen defendants asked the judge to allow them to have a speedy trial.  They do not want this case to be classified as complex.  It is their constitution rights to be able to have their trial in 70 days.  Dave's lawyers said he would most definitely be ready for trial in 70 days   It is not their fault if the prosecutors are not ready for the case.  The prosecutors have had two years to get their evidence together.  They should not have to sit in a jail cell and wait for them to get their case ready against these Political Prisoners.

The original trial date was supposed to be on May 2 but the judge said because of so many defendants and because the prosectors do not even have the discovery ready yet then that day will not work.   The judge told the prosecutors that they have two weeks to get their discovery together and to start handing over their discovery to the defendants lawyers.  She has not made her ruling yet wether this should be ruled as a complex case.

I am praying that the judge allows these 14 men to have their constitutional rights for a speedy trial.  I know there is a lot of discovery to go through but we have the lord on our side and a mighty army that will be able to help us with this task in no time (FBI and BLM I am not talking about a mighty army that will come after you physically so don't be too scared).  Thank you for all of your prayers.  I most definitely felt them yesterday.  The spirit was in that court room leading and guiding the lawyers in the way that they defended the political prisoners.  Please keep praying for the political prisoners, their lawyers, the judge and also the prosecutors that their hearts might be softened.

P.S. Just on a side note.  Last week Ammon's Lawyer got kicked out for using his phone.  This week Dave's lawyer got his notebook taken away from him during court. Why on earth would they take a notebook away from a lawyer?

Belongings

I just received my husbands belongings that the US Marshals took from him in Salt Lake City, Utah before being transported to Nevada.  I did not want these items back because I wanted him to have them.  I bought him that watch for his birthday in January so he would be able to know what time it was and when it was time to come home.  We sent him those pictures so he could remember his family and all of the good times we have had.  My children and other family members wrote him those letters to give him hope and show him how much we love him.  The picture of Jesus and Mary was given to him by a cell mate to remind him of our Savior.   All I really want is for him to return home so I can give him his belongings back.

Please say an extra pray for our patriots, their lawyers, and the Judge tomorrow.  All 19 of them will be going before Judge Navarro tomorrow where she will discuss how she will handle the trial. The hearing is at 10:00 a.m. in the Federal Court House in Las Vegas, Nevada.
