Mexicali, Mexico where 750 kids were fitted with the Gift of
Better Hearing! One neat experience took place where this Grandpa got
his first set of hearing aids in 55 years. His sweet wife, kids, and
grandkids came to see their Patriarch hear for his very first time. As
I did some speech therapy with him, he started forming these words in
his mouth that he's never uttered before. His family started crying
tears of joy and was overwhelmed with joy! The Gift of Sound is
something we all take for granted! Let us cherish the beautiful sounds
around us on a daily basis. |

Hello Family and Friends,
I just landed in MN, but I needed to get this off my mind before I
hit the sack tonight.
The last three days will be memories never to be forgotten! Our
family performed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir/SLC Temple
Orchestra. The spirit was soooooo strong! During each
performance, they got three separate standing ovations! In the
history of the Conference Center, this has never happened! The
First Presidency were having so much fun as they danced the night
away! It was an honor to meet each one of the 1st Presidency!
They are truly Men of God!
This morning, I got to sit right next to President Monson as I
interpreted in ASL right in front of the stage for my Uncle Tom. I
will never forget this moment. It was the most majestic view ever!
Seeing my dad up on stage singing his heart out with the Motab! I
started to cry and it just kept coming non-stop!
Then after the third show Sunday Morning "Music and the Spoken
Word," President Monson went up and gave a very special
presentation to my dad and uncles. The Prophet of God then
mentioned to my dad, "I am your spokesperson and advocate." That
truly sent a chill up my spine as I truly ponder those words. Then
he had them turn away from the audience and face the Mormon Tab
Choir. The Choir then sang 'Til we Meet Again.' It was right
here where I lost it! I not only heard the Choir sing, but I
heard concourses of angels join the musical throng of the Mormon Tab
Choir. It will be an experience never to be forgotten.
I am so proud of my dad this night… Justin

Hearing! Check out some of the highlights:

So the World May Hear…
This last weekend, I went up Ephraim Canyon with my cousin Tommy and
my uncle Tom. What I saw and experienced was probably the most
spectacular view my eyes have ever beheld on planet earth. And it so
happens to be right in my backyard up in the mtns. The pictures don't
even give the scenery justice, but it's the best I can show ya…
Enjoy!

In
just 7 days, I went to 5 different cities all over Mexico including
Monterrey,
San Luis, Victoria,
Guadalajara and La
Paz. We provided around 5,000 hearing aids to about 2,500
patients. It was a lot of work day-in and day-out with no breaks in
between. It was a lot of traveling, but thank goodness we had a
private jet that provided the transportation from city to city. It
saved the hassle and time of having to go commercial. But there's
no greater feeling than feeling productive at the end of the day and
knowing that these kids in Mexico can now hear.

Im so
excited to announce the Grand Opening of our 1st
Osmond Hearing Centers.
Hopefully the 1st of
many more to come!
As many of
you know, I was born with a Congenital Hearing Loss so I know
first-hand what it's like not to
hear... Over the years as I've learned to make this challenge and
trial one of my greatest blessings, it has
become a passion of mine to help others hear. A wise friend of
mine once told me, "We build up our income
by what we get, but we build up our lives by what we give." At the
Osmond Hearing Centers, our goal is to
build lives and provide this gift, even The Gift of Better Hearing
to all those who may be missing out on life's precious sounds!
Bringing
Music to your Ears...
