Hi Everyone,
Well our time at The MTC is almost over. Yikes! We have loved every minute of it here. We have learned things that we never knew before. I am so grateful for all that the church is doing around the world to help those in need. There are many needs and we are doing the best we can one step at a time. The thing dad and I have been most impressed with is that we have been shown how some things that we might have thought would be helpful are not helpful at all. The church has been studying and following for years the things that really work in helping the poor and needy and the things that don’t help, in fact make things worse. It is fascinating! We now understand the principles, and hopefully we will be able to implement them.
This week our training has been only on humanitarian service and a few tips on mental health and how to get clean water. Tomorrow is our last day. We will be given the church’s computer program of how to request, plan, follow through and report our projects. It is very complicated and I understand why it needs to be.
We continue to be amazed at all the missionaries that are here. We love them. We especially love the couples that have been in our group. Elder Carter from Canada continues me keep me laughing. We have seen and experienced a lot of tender mercies here. It has been such a spiritual uplift for us. We have seen true consecration.
We received our fight plans and our papers from Myanmar so we can get our visas when we get into the country. It is a little weird, hopefully it will all work. We will be leaving Monday morning at 6:30 a.m. We will arrive in Myanmar Wednesday afternoon (their time) around 2:30 p.m. going through Hong Kong and Thailand.
I love you all so much!!
Thank you for the wonderful counsel and advice it means more than I can ever express…you have helped me!
Mommy
