Howdy Y’all!
I have come to a realization this week. Before Elder P left for his mission I had several people tell me “Oh you will be so blessed for having a missionary out.” I have looked hard high and low for where the blessing were. In the last 4 months we have been socked in the gut financially. First it was my thumb, then Darren’s toe, then one of his teeth (filling) cracked in half, and then when we got home from the dentist we found an IRS tax bill in our mailbox. We have scrambled around for the money to pay it.
But this last week I realized we have been greatly blessed. When I say “we” I mean my entire family.
• Elder P. has had safety and protection while he is in another country.
• My nephews and niece are getting baptized. And I just found out tonight that one of my nephews, his girlfriend has been investigating the Church on her own.
• The little girl that we take to church was just baptized by Darren.
• Found just enough money to pay for everything. We have nothing left over but the bills were paid.
So I guess this is where the blessings have come in from having a missionary out. Some days I wish for money when I have to write out the big billed checks.
May God bless and keep you. :)
