Family
Wow. I don´t know what
else to say. This week has been so full of ups and downs and all-arounds and I
can´t believe how much has happened. So many things going on at home. So much
sad news and so much need for prayers. I´m so sorry to hear about the
missionary in Steven´s mission, Lou Hickman, and Eva Fay. I don´t mean to add to the sadness, but there
has been some sad news here as well. You´ve probably heard but on Saturday night
there was a big earthquake in Ecuador. We don´t have a lot of information because
as missionaries we can´t watch the news or anything, but my companion is from
there and it happened in her city. Her dad isn´t there and her brothers are in
the US so her mom is there alone. She was so worried because we couldn´t get
ahold of her, but today she got an email from her saying she is ok. Everything
is a mess and her house collapsed, but her mom is alive and well. Please add
them to your prayers. So many missionaries here are worried about their
families and loved ones. I hope Sam Yorgason and Shannon are alright as well. I
heard that none of the missionaries were affected so I hope their families are
at peace as well. Lots of praying to do this week.
But this week was
still really good. We had 4 days of trainings this week, one of them being in a
multi-zone conference with president in front of like 70 or 80 missionaries.
But they all went really well. The only bad thing is we were planning every
night super late and then traveling and we were exhausted...and then of course
I got sick. :) Hehe, but the Lord is so merciful and I’ve never healed so fast
from a cold. Everything went well and we saw soooo many miracles this week.
I´m out of time, but I’ll
write more next week. Sorry, I’ve been trying to be with my companion and
talking with her about her family so I didn´t get to write much. Love you all
so much.
