2020 Semaine 47 (16-22 novembre)



This week we received 15 copies of this picture for the missionaries' apartments.  I found a framed one hidden in the supply room at the mission office and I took it for the mission home.  I love this picture.

 It was a quiet week here but quite the opposite at Mylene's household.  We are so thankful for Heavenly Father's watchful care of our family.



Grand-papa was busy with the interviews (26 missionaries).  I took that opportunity to visit with the missionaries and help them if needed.  We are preparing to become a technology mission and there is some training to receive for all of us.  We will also concentrate our next zone conference on this preparation.  I have enjoyed what I have been learning and it has helped me understand the importance of acquiring good digital habits.  Technology can be such a wonderful tool.  We still have to learn to be in control.  It is easy to waste so much time by using it with no purpose.  It is so easy to just scroll for hours and not accomplish anything.  I am thankful for what I am learning and I intend to stay with these good habits.  Like:
Be aware and acknowledge
Choose to act
Learn and improve


Life in Vanuatu

I thought this Volkswagen beetle that was parked next to me had an island (vacation)  look to it.


It is mango season and we are enjoying the good harvest.




 I have not been able to start my exercises in the pool because the water is green and it is leaking quite a lot. 😞 We do not mind adding water to it regularly but we need the pool company to come and clean it.  The last time they came was Oct.15.😲



A visitor.


I loved President Nelson's message of hope and healing power of gratitude last Friday.
President Nelson said this message did not come by chance but came from heaven.
I hope we will all accept his invitation to flood social media for the next seven days with our own personal gratitude journal and join with others in thanking God through daily prayer.

President Nelson said: "Prayers can bring forth miracles.  May we all turn to God and more fully trust in Him."

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
