I have been amazed at how missionary work has been so successful during a pandemic. Missionaries have found new ways to find & teach people. Missionary work in Argentina has all been virtual for the last year and a half. Most of our missionaries have found, taught and watched them be baptized without ever meeting them in person. Many of our missionaries are just now starting to talk to people in the street for the first time ever on their missions. It has been incredible to watch. What a blessing now that Argentina is opening back up to have new ways and old ways of finding and teaching the gospel. It has been a great blessing to have technology for us as Mission leaders to get to see all of our missionaries more often.
Also, we are able to connect with our kids and grandkids so often. Facetime, Sunday zoom, readeo (super cute way to read books online to my grandkids) and texts are such a blessing for us being so far away!
This is the Lord's work and He is leading it! There is a great quote from Thomas S Monson that really describes this time of missionary work " Remember that this work is not yours and mine alone. It is the Lord's work, and when we are on the Lord's errand, we are entitled to the Lord's help. Remember that the Lord will shape the back to bear the burden placed upon it."
This is so true! These missionaries have been unbelievable and so good with technology and finding new and better ways to do missionary work!

So glad to see your blog. Jackie gave me the url this morning. Hope it's alright for me to enter a comment. We love the great work you are doing and enjoy seeing some of your experiences. Thank you for posting them.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear your updates. Fall here on the Palouse has been so beautiful. Our first fall weather since returning from Scotland. Fall in Scotland is not the same, but we find we miss other parts of that great land. Keep up the great work. It is fun to see your progress and feel of your love for your missionaries. There is nothing like the love of missionaries to fill your soul.
