A mother's prayers for her missionary
Had a great call with our sweet Hermana Stewart. The wifi at the meeting house where they use internet is not currently working so she is not able to send a letter this week - so we are counting this post as her update.
This last week she was heavy on my mind in thought and prayer. When she told us she and her companion were feeling sick, it was clear those promptings to pray for her were from a loving Heavenly Father. I love that He cares to let this Momma know when she needs extra strength through prayer. We had a good cry session which Damon and Bryce put up with. Haha
Today we counseled with her about teaching people who don’t believe in God. It’s hard because in this world there are a lot of people who choose not to believe in God. Thus forgoing any duty to Him.
We talked a lot about the premortal life, how she could approach it like teaching young children…This evolved into discussing the miracle of God’s creations. Damon pointed out the millions of hours that go into making a smart phone. And how even that doesn’t equate to the billions of cells of the human body. We discussed a talk by President Nelson which I happened to have sent her recently.
I am grateful to know that we are truly each miracles - each and every one of us! And I know God is truly mindful of us- in every detail. This week I’m especially grateful to Him for his influence in my children’s lives. I know God hears and answers the tearful prayers of this Mom.
Maybe if our missionary has time she can comment on these. In the meantime we can just feel her love and enjoy my witty comments.

The Joy of serving the Lord is worth every sacrifice! We love our Hermana!
A peak into Missionary Life! Looks like a feast! Nice to see their sleeping quarters, too.
Beds made!
Every missionary needs a good recharge!
Sharing the love!
