This is a recent email Heidis bishop wrote to Heidis ward in Idaho:

Heidi is speaking again, not like she wants to, but she is speaking. She is starting to walk by her self without the aid of a walker or anyone else. The steps are slow and very careful but she is doing it. The night we were there she showed us how much she had progressed. She said her plan was to be back in Rexburg this Fall and be in the 30th ward. As we watched and visited with her she said "I am learning patience!" We watched as she walked around the front room and into the kitchen, at times she had to fight gravity and gain her balance. After we left I thought about these to things and then came to mind two blessings that I gave her during her stay at the hospital in Idaho Falls. In one I said that the lord had given her this challenge to teach her patience and that her recovery would take time but it would be steady. In another blessing I remember saying that as she learned to walk Angels would be on her sides to help buoy her up. As I thought of how she would start to lean and almost fall to one side she seemed to be almost caught by something or maybe someone and then regained her balance.
We have watched a miracle happen in our ward, what a blessing it has been to all of us. Thank you for your continued faith and prayers, she has felt it and knows that you are a big part of the reason she is doing so well.
Have a great evening!
