A Missionary's Work: The Strongest and the Weakest

Hello everyone! I'm here in super hot Bongabon now, but maybe leaving this Thursday. I'm not sure because transfer announcements are on Wednesday and transfers are on Saturday. So I won't find out until Wednesday. I love these people sooo much here in Bongabon, but I really love exploring too and teaching new people! We have been working hard and trying to do our best to help others.

I have short time to email today so I'll just go straight to the good stuff. So the spiritual thought today is about Sister Anne. Sister Anne is in weak shape after a bad stroke about a year ago. She's very physically weak, but so spiritually strong. Though it is hard for her to walk, she walks to church every week, about half a mile. Even though she's alone almost 24/7, she is always smiling. Whenever you see her, she loves to see how you are doing and always thinks of others. She is an amazing example for all. Even with her small frame and fragile body, her spirit is of giant status. So how can we learn from Anne? We learn to love everybody else and serve them, we learn to keep smiling in all our situations, and we learn to endure to the end or continue in our lives, trying our best, working our hardest, and always relying on Christ. Sorry, but the pics are not loading today, but love ya all and have a great week, striving to be like Anne!
