We had the opportunity to Skype with Zuster Young this morning. Even though this was the first Christmas not having everyone all together, it made it very special to be "together" for a few precious moments on Christmas morning. We were told she would be Skyping in at 8a.m. yet we anxiously waited until 8:30a.m. when she finally called in. She explained that they were at a members house and had to wait until the Elders left.
She looks fantastic, healthy and happy. She is already full of excitement and love for the people and area she is in. She is loving all the food! She said she has not eaten "so much bread in all [her] life". She shared some funny stories, details about her daily schedule and made us all smile and laugh trying to describe people and experiences. It was heartwarming to hear how the members are watching out for them. A little scary to hear about how the Spirit is leading her and her companion away from danger and harm. So thankful for the angels that are watching over her. The most special moment was at the end, when we as a family knelt and she gave a prayer in Dutch. The Spirit was so very strong in that moment, testimonies were strengthened and love of family across the miles was felt.
Merry Christmas from our family!
