¡Hola a Todos! (Hello
All!)
Although we are anxious to actually get to Peru, this week we
experienced the “silver lining” of serving our mission from home. We were able
to see – live and in-person – five of our six children and their families!
Granted, some of our visits were less than 24 hours, but it was still great to
see them. However, we’re kicking ourselves for not taking more pictures!
Our mission had zone conferences this week, which means
super busy days for President and Sister Packard. We moved forward with our
regular schedule of meetings, language teaching, and working with the office
elders.
This month’s Liahona
magazine has a great article dealing with faith and doubt entitled, “When in
Doubt, Keep the Door Open to Faith” by Molly Holt. I love the following excerpt:
“We keep the door open [to our faith] by continuing to do
the little things God has told us are good for our souls. We keep the Sabbath
day holy and attend our meetings. We read the scriptures, even if it’s just one
verse at times. We listen to a hymn or conference talk. We talk to Heavenly Father
about our concerns and hopes and ask Him to help us know the truth. We keep the
commandments, repent, and seek the companionship of the Holy Ghost.”
¡Que tengan una semana
súper fantástica! (Have a super fantastic week!)
Love,
Lane & LeAnn
