Hello to all of our family and friends! And, a very Happy Mother's Day to all Mothers!!
Just a few hours ago we got to Skype with Sarah (that is a phone call on the computer!)So we got to see and hear her!!! She sent us an email on Friday morning saying that she would be able to go to the home of a member of the church to use their computer and call us at 10:15 today. She knew we had church from 9-12 so she set the time to be right after Sacrament meeting for us. She couldn't call at any other time because she and her companion are assigned to two different wards and would be in church all day.
So we went to our first meeting and I kept my eye on my wristwatch. We did have to leave shortly before the meeting was over. It was a great meeting with the talks focused on the lives of some of the women who are talked about in the scriptures: Ruth, Esther and Eve from the Bible and the mothers of the two thousand stripling warriors from the book of Alma in the Book of Mormon. My apologies to Brother Leck, who was giving a great talk about the mother of Jesus when I had to get up and leave but I was so excited and it was 10:07, which gave us just enough time to get home. She was online when we got in!
Oh, it was glorious to talk to her and see her! I took a picture of us talking with her. She was holding a phone to her ear and calling Spencer to get him on the line with us but he wasn't home so she left him a message.
She said Geneva is wonderful and that she and her companion taught 23 lessons this week to people from different countries. She said that is the most teaching she has done in one week!
She is happy and healthy and working hard. Her French sounds truly French! She gave us updates on some of the people she has mentioned in her letters. She truly loves the people she is serving and asked us to pray for them by name. She bore her testimony of the power of the Atonement of our Savior Jesus Christ.
