Week 23 - The one with No Blog

Well...we heard from Hermana Elise today via email, but I guess the hour of internet time got away from her and we did not receive an email to post on her Blog.  We have learned that one hour of internet time is not a lot of time to get all her stuff done.  She reads all emails from family and friends, she responds to us in live chat mode and she also has to write to her Mission President of how her week went.  She always seems a little overwhelmed so she never gets to all of our Parental questions, but for the most part she does a good job.

Her mold issue has not been taken care of.  She sleeps on the floor out of her bedroom so that she is not close to the mold.  It is wet in Bolivia most of the time and extremely hot and humid so nothing dries fast.  She requested a quick drying towel, so we purchased one from REI and are sending this week.  We have also had to send her more shoes as the ones she has are wearing quickly...again due to the wet and mud.

We have realized that after 5 1/2 month in the mission field that Elise has truly made a difference in the people of Bolivia's lives.  She is committed and love the people.  She never complains and even when she tells us about these that she would need, she often says; don't worry about though as she is just fine.  She has caused our family back home to be blessed more than we can say.

We love her and miss her, but know she is where the Lord needs her to be.  We ask you to pray for her safety, her health and most of all, to keep sharing the Gospel to people that will listen to her.

She loves hearing from her friends and family back home.  Thank you all for the support.
