At times this mission has been very difficult. It has been challenging to live in a different culture halfway around the world, away from loved ones, and missing life events at home. Despite Skype and email, we haven't been able to be involved in the lives of our family members like we normally would be.
This past week I (Eileen) have been reminded of the blessings that have come while serving as missionaries. We have had some events occur in the lives of family members that I feel are evidence that God is aware of each of us. Even though we are far away, there is someone far greater than us who is looking after those we hold so dear. I appreciate the love and support of my family. I am grateful for a loving and wise Heavenly Father who is watching over them. We may not be there for them, but He is.
