Relief

  There is a boy from my ward, Joseph, who is serving the Phillipines. In the city that was hardest hit by the typhoon on Thursday. I have known him since the day he was born, he is the same age as my son Nathan, who is serving in Paraguay. His family had no idea if he was safe. There are still about 80 of the 200 missionaries in that area unaccounted for. But last night his parents heard he was safe. I am so deeply grateful for that. And now I will continue to pray for the other missionaries and their families. It is an act of faith to send your child out on a mission. Sometimes we forget how much courage it takes to do that.
