In the last area of my mission they changed the branch president, and during the sustaining vote many members voted against him. They thought it was like an election of sorts. In the branch my parents spent their mission serving in they had the same kind of experience. This sounds way worse. Hopefully, having a mssionary couple in the area will help to train the people how the church really works, thus making these members stronger and more faithful.<br />Hope you have a really wonderful Christmas! We had to postpone ours because I came down with the influenza virus and the doctor said that I'm highly contagious! I'm feeling sorry for myself because we had family and friends that were supposed to come, a fridge full of food, and I won't be able to attend church on Christmas day.<br />Thank you for keeping a blog and sharing your misionary experiences! It reinforces my desire to serve after I retire! Love you both!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16097797694386459438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746747306711490013.post-58557369083226962782011-12-17T09:52:24.432-07:002011-12-17T09:52:24.432-07:00Oh it is so sad that the branch where the Prete...Oh it is so sad that the branch where the Prete's are can't get along. I guess we just have to pray that their hearts will be softened. Good luck to the Prete's and glad they are there. Wow, I didn't realize that Malawi is that poor. Our prays are out to Maria and Petros as they try to make <br />Maria's last days comfortable and also for what you have done for them. <br /><br />Thinking of you this Christmas season.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08495615913637693764noreply@blogger.com
