Love & Support


Tuesday April 3, 2012

This morning I received an email from a dear lady who is a fellow missionary from my mission to Argentina, from many years ago. She had recently found out about my diagnosis and asked if it would be all right to let the other missionaries from the Buenos Aires South Mission know about it as well. I plan on beating this cancer and I figure that the more prayers are being said on my behalf, the more the Lord will hear our requests and sustain me through this experience.

It was shortly after that email when I received an email from a former missionary who lives in Florida. He wished me well and expressed that he, his wife, and each of his six children (and named them all by name) would be adding me to their family prayers to ask the Lord to invoke a healing blessing in my life. I was very touched.

Tonight, we had another neighbor drop by with a frozen dinner for us to use as needed in the coming weeks. We visited for a while and then she asked what she can do to help as we prepare for Tyler’s upcoming wedding. I was overcome with gratitude. I'll talk with her later in the week and we’ll share ideas. While I’m feeling relatively good, I need to pace myself and try to do what I can to eat this wedding ‘elephant’ one bite at a time. So many wonderful blessings, every single day!
