Missionary Monday...

 

 The Farmer wanted to know where Sis. Precious was living...

so he Google Mapped it!

 He did the same when the Aggie Boy was serving in London...

It's fun to see where our missionaries are living...

Missionary Monday...

Monday's are a joy! 

It was so great to hear from Sis. Precious today. 

She is recovering beautifully from her car accident, but is still not able to work full 

time as a missionary. She will soon have a follow-up MRI and hopefully will be 

back to work full time. She is still so sweet and so happy to be serving a mission! 

 Her letters are such a treat and are so fun to read! 

We love our Sis. Precious!

 

"She Will Be Just Fine..."

Early this morning my phone rang. 

(I am in the states visiting the Grandparents S. with Grandpa having some health issues.) 

 Anyway, when I answered the call, I was greeted by Pres. Jardine, 

Sis. Precious' mission president. He called to assure us that she was well...very sore...but well. 

 "She will be just fine..." he said "and we love her very much!" 

I love him for calling this morning, to ease the worry of a Mother's Heart. 

 I love him for leaving his family to serve the Lord and to serve Sis. Precious...

I love him...

because...

he loves her!

Answered Prayers!!

Our Missionary Monday was a Missionary Tuesday this week. 

 We knew that we wouldn't hear from Sis. Precious until today, she mentioned it last week. 

 Around 1:30 we got a quick message from her telling us that she had been in a car accident on Monday afternoon, and that her mission president wanted to talk to us. So very quickly The Farmer made contact with Pres. Jardine. We just happened to be in El Paso... at the hospital...visiting a dear friend who is having some serious problems. The Farmer left the hospital room to talk to the mission president, 

and when he returned he had quite a story to share.

 

 Sis. Precious and her companion were passing through an intersection and were 

broadsided by another car that had run a red light. The car was totaled, they were both taken by 

ambulance to the hospital, and thankfully the mission president was very close by. 

 She said that the moment Pres. Jardine arrived he placed his hands on each of their heads and gave them a blessing. She was so grateful for that. So today, with her signature humor and grace, she shared this experience with lots of detail with us through her weekly letter. Her perspective is amazing! Today and I am so very grateful for every prayer that is uttered throughout the world on behalf of our 

beloved missionaries. Prayers were answered today!!

Sis. Precious Update...

Sis. Precious is awesome! 

Her letters are such a delight each week...we laugh... I cry a little (because I miss her)...

and she reminds us how very lucky we are to call her ours. 

She has the most unique and beautiful way of finding happiness and humor in the most 

mundane of situations. Each week I wonder what great adventure she has had and 

how she made it fun. I love that girl!! Yesterday, early in the morning a 6.1 earthquake 

hit the Napa Valley area of California. Although it wasn't right in her area, people have 

reported feeling the quake right where she is. This would have been Sis. Precious' first earthquake...

and I pray her last;) The church has reported that all missionaries in that area are just fine. 

 Yay! 

 I look forward to hearing from her today... to see what this experience was 

like for her and those in her area.

 

This is Sis. Cleverly...The Trainer...she is a Saint I am sure;) 

She and Sis. Precious were riding their bikes when The Trainer felt she was going to pass out. 

 They quickly stopped...found a piece of grass and The Trainer laid down. 

 Turns out it was the yard of a less active member;) Anyway, to pass the time...

Sis. Precious gathered sticks to surround The Trainer, 

which brought alot of laughs and lightened a hard situation.

 

While traveling through Cd. Juarez with The Farmer...

I came across a street vendor who was selling these blow up Lucha Libre dolls... 

since we love Nacho Libre so much...it was a must to send to Sis. Precious! 

Oh my goodness she is loving that thing! 

I also sent some funny curlers to her that I thought may help... 

but turns out...not so much...after removing the curlers she said she looked like 

she was ready to go to the high school prom!

So here is a little glimpse into the life of our Sis. Precious!
