12.10.13

Well this week came and went pretty quickly. Its hard to believe that Christmas is only a couple of weeks away! I got a few letters in the mail from Hannah, Ben, Lilly and Nathan. They certainly put a smile on my face. Other than that, not too much exciting happened this week, but we were able to get quite a bit done.

I'm a bit sick right now. Its not been very fun, but it allowed for a miracle yesterday. My voice has been very in and out and I had large part of sacrament meeting to translate. Right before the meeting my voice completely cut out. I prayed a lot asking that I could translate even if it meant that I couldnt talk the rest of the day. As I tried to join in singing the opening song eventually my voice came through and I was able to do the translating. Once we left church, my voice left me again and my health got a little worse. All our appointments fell through which allowed us to return home and I was able to rest it off. It may have been something rather small and unnoticed by many, but to me it was a testament that God is aware of us all and hears and answers our prayers.

Have a great week!

Love
