BRAVE ELDER MOURITSEN
Our Elder Mouritsen took a pretty good tumble off of his bike the end of May and has been "Bucking Up" ever since and living with the pain. We were finally able to get things worked out to actually do the surgery here in Phoenix so he did not have to go home on a medical leave...that was not an option he would accept.

Our Elder Mouritsen took a pretty good tumble off of his bike the end of May and has been "Bucking Up" ever since and living with the pain. We were finally able to get things worked out to actually do the surgery here in Phoenix so he did not have to go home on a medical leave...that was not an option he would accept.
So, brave Elder Mouritsen went in for shoulder surgery. His doctor, Dr. Maddox, was super nice and even posed for a "cutting" picture with Elder Mouritsen.
He looked handsome in his blue hat...and was a real trooper the entire time...smiling all the way to surgery!

And here he is afterwards, still smiling...and wearing a huge white shirt that Elder Birch had brought on his mission and was perfect for this occasion! He wanted his tag right back on after surgery...and yes, he told two nurses that they needed to be baptized!
He will recuperate with one of his convert families, the James, who recently went through the temple! They are a blessing in his life now and so happy to be of service to him.
Best wishes Elder Colton Mouritsen on a speedy recovery! He plans on attending zone leader council next Tuesday...we will see. Where there is great desire, and where the Lord is involved, great miracles happen! I don't think a day will go by of his recovery that he does not do missionary work. This is the type of missionaries that we have in the great PHOENIX ARIZONA MISSION!
