Six months ago I was in the "let's just get this over with" mode - leaving my family and my home and friends and beginning a journey that we had no idea what would be. Thank heavens it was six months ago and here we are now somewhat settled in with some idea of what we need to accomplish. There has been nothing easy about any of part of leaving to serve a mission; but at this point I can say that it has been an amazing learning experience. And one of the most vivid things we have learned is how valuable senior missionaries are to a mission. As we have watched our friends here serve in so many different ways we realize that there could never be enough senior missionaries to help in all of the ways a mission needs help! We have learned how very blessed our lives have been and are so grateful to be able to help here in any way we can.
Wilton had met the missionaries on his way home last night and they had given him a pamphlet to read. When he told them he couldn't read they told him to come have Elder Rees read it to him. So Scott decided besides reading to him, he would try and teach him to read. The neatest thing of all was when he wanted to be taught how to pray. He is going to William's on Friday night when the missionaries go there to teach William's family a lesson. These guys are so humble and teachable.Got some treats made for them to take home. It probably will be their supper so I did make something nutritious.
Today my husband said - and I wish I could have recorded it- that he would gladly take me shopping to as many stores as it took to find what I needed to make dinner tomorrow for Sister Lilly and he would not complain. As soon as he said it he put his hand over his mouth like "what did I just say". It was pretty funny actually because I know that have must have just accidentally slipped out! Then he said,"You know I was lying, right?" But he did take me and not complain!
The handicapped older sister that came every Tuesday to the temple to the 6:00 pm session hasn't been there for a month now. Tonight they told us that she isn't doing well. She brought such a sweet spirit with her that I have really missed her. Pres. Bair was telling us last night that the National Palace gardeners met with them to see how they kept the temple grounds looking so beautiful.
Got to skype with Kelsey today. It is always so good to see her.She is amazing! Then got to skype with Megan and Jace. Mostly Jace scooting instead of crawling over to the computer - which was so cute. We are so blessed.
