Howdy everybody! :)
So, I don't have any super big adventures this week. In fact I was put on house arrest....hehe! I didn't do anything crazy, but I was super sick and I wasn't staying in so it was getting worse. So, I got told to stay in and I did. I'm doing much better now. I'm not quite to the finish line, but I'm definitely out of the gate. However, I tell you this so that I can show you a tender mercy of the Lord in my life. I had strep and I was throwing up a lot. Couldn't keep anything down, couldn't swallow, lost my voice for like the whole week. (That is actually still touch and go). I got to brush up on my sign language, and my companion had to learn so patience with it, because she doesn't know sign language. It was a good adventure. Anyway, back to the tender mercy. Through all of this pain and sickness, I was praying for a little bit of comfort. I'll tell you how that prayer was answered. On the day it was at it's worst I received a something I honestly wasn't expecting in the mail. A cute little turkey puzzle! I want you to know that I don't know who thought of it, but I don't doubt that Father inspired and got it here just in time. I want to thank you for your messages of love and encouragement. I want to thank you for thinking of me at Thanksgiving, and I want to thank you for letting me know. I recognize it as one of the many comforts God has sent me this week in my time of trial. So thank you for following your prompting, thank you for your strength.
I was going to send a picture with this e-mail to see if I did it right, I mean all the messages made sense, but you never know. :-) However, I forgot to take a picture with it. So, I guess you'll never know.
I can't believe that I've been out for six months! That is a little crazy to me. It feels like I've been gone forever, and not that long all at the same time. It's all sorts of crazy. I hope this next year will be as fruitful as these last few months, and I'm looking forward to seeing you next Christmas! ;-) God be with you, and bless you.
Also, next week is transfers. So hold on to any letters to be sent out Monday until after I e-mail you. So you know if I'm staying in Seabrook or moving on to the next adventure. It's likely I'm staying, but you never know what the Lord will do with you! :)

| I thought this was a funny sign that you might enjoy. And it's not a bad picture either. :) |

| This was hanging on our front door, and I thought it was funny because "the field is white", you know? Do you get it? :-D |

Remember that I love you forever and always! Keep the faith!
Forever,
