Well....no email from Mackenzie this week.  She was so sick she could only email for about 10 minutes.  She has been sick for 2 1/2 months now but I've spoken with Sister Eddy (her mission president's wife) and she says she thinks Hermana Rich is on the mend.  Monday night Sister Eddy spoke with Mackenzie and she said she was feeling MUUUUUCH better so I am keeping my fingers crossed that they have a handle on this bug and she is getting back to 100%!

The mission life doesn't come without trials as do all of our lives, but she is learning how to handle trials, learn from them and make the most of them!  I am grateful for the experiences she is having and the person she is that she recognizes the trials for what they are and can move forward.  And what is easy for one person might not be easy for the next person.  We all have our own trials to help us become stronger and better and if we will trust the Lord and ask for his help in overcoming our trials, He will help us make the MOST of our lives.

Happy New Years to everyone!

Happy New Year!

Blessings can come in small packages!  These are growing at her apartment!  She loves her fruit!
