2020 Semaine 35 (24-30 aout)

 


It was a rainy busy week.  

Grand-papa had interviews to conduct every day.  It is nice to be around the missionaries at the office. 

Sometimes there is a lot of traffic.



It can be quite tempting to follow the invitation of signs off the road.


But soon after, I saw what the hold up was.  A police officer was stopping the many buses for a verification of drivers license.


We had some strong winds pushing the light down



 We are thankful for the sunshine through it all as we spoke with grandsons for their birthday



Pictures of first day of school and cuteness came to brighten our days also.




The light was not the only thing that came down this week.


Our brave Jaden reassured us with one of his beautiful smiles.  He is still so  handsome and we are very happy he is okay!

Emma learning the ropes and experiencing the bumps and cuts that sometimes come with them.


Thankfully all is well.

We experience a lot of bumps on the road or enticing invitations to leave the road that will take us away from our sure destination.

We have been facing traffic on our missionary road that is sometimes frustrating.  We think some missionaries will finally return home then we are told it will not happen just yet.  A bump, some traffic.

I have found the words of our prophet to be true:
"Daily immersion in the word of God is crucial for spiritual survival, especially in these days of increasing upheaval.  As we feast on the words of Christ daily, the words of Christ will tell us how to respond to difficulties we never thought we would face."

I find truth and light in my daily scripture study.  So I can say with President Nelson and Nephi, the son of Helaman:
"it is not of myself that I know these things; but behold, I know that these things are true because the Lord God has made them known unto me, therefore I testify that they shall be." Helaman 7:29


Have a great week.  Don't let the bumps and traffic get you down.  There is always sunshine and the hand of the Lord around us if we choose to see them.

The highlight of our week was talking with Wesley for his birthday with a bonus hello from Jacob, Mason, Calvin and Arianne.  He is now 6 years old.  He is such a sweet boy and we were very happy he talked to us for almost 30 minutes!!!  We were thrilled.  We usually get a quick hello then a quick goodbye followed by a  I love you because he is busy playing . We could have talked a lot longer but we had to leave for a meeting.  A very close second was a chat with Halle, Bella, Jaden, Audrée and Jason.  Short but very sweet.  These conversations, Messenger, Facebook and pictures are such a support in these crazy times.   Like these sweet faces to look at every time we feel like screaming, gets us back in our zen zone and making us smile.                                                                           This week was a blast!  We came back Monday from Solomon Islands.  Very glad the flights have not been cance

Most important event this week.  Our sweet Audrée's birthday. We ended this week by chatting with her.  We are so proud of all our children and grandchildren.   We love them "gros comme le ciel" and we miss them so much.  I woke up this morning with a message from our Coralie who opened the door to memory lane for me. She sent me this letter I send her at least 10 years ago for a school project about how was school for her grand-maman when I was in second grade. After reading this letter again, I started remembering some stories to help us learn how to read.  I found online the book and some stories back then.  It was so fun to reminisce. Do you remember the March 13 entry? Tender mercy #8 Saturday morning we woke up to a miraculous news.  Go back and read it if you do not remember.  Here is Elder Kema being reunited with his long lost, almost destroyed suitcase. This picture will always remind me that the Lord is mindful of the details in our life. This week we received

What happened during week 29: Big preparation in Vanuatu for the Celebrations of the 40th anniversary of their independence. What was once broken was fixed Interviews with the Mission President and district councils where the Spirit was felt and   brought a desire to be obedient.   We attended the district council of the Blacksands district We were blessed by technology as we visited with family members.  Little Emma could not leave her daddy's ear alone.  It was so much fun to pull on it. (for her of course, not daddy) He bore it patiently for awhile until mom removed her to play with something else. 😁 Calvin had so much to tell us about toys and the accident of his brother stepping on a toy and breaking it in the process. And Calvin expressed his complete confidence that his dad will fix it.  No pressure Stephen but he is counting on you.  We share his confidence. As I am writing what has happened this week, I see a correlation in Alma 34 that I studied this week. Preparation fo
