I remember getting notes like that on some very low days, and they made my day. Everyone needs encouragement! Thank you, Steve, for your comment.Lou Ann Keiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684047509152182217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150363806357767058.post-31137940626187508092014-10-21T01:40:40.639+02:002014-10-21T01:40:40.639+02:00This reminds me of a comment from the "missio...This reminds me of a comment from the "missionary panel" at our church's missions conference a couple of weeks ago. I asked what we as individuals can do that is most encouraging. One missionary replied, "It's one thing to pray for us; it's another thing to let us know that you're praying."<br /><br />From reading your #1, I get the idea that you agree. :-)<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder about how important and encouraging simple communication can be.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13855051401496819973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2150363806357767058.post-65401126417119853492014-10-15T21:31:33.295+02:002014-10-15T21:31:33.295+02:00Thank you for sharing, Juanita.

My family and I are missionaries in eastern Ukraine. We have been here 5 months, and what you wrote above sounds just like us now. I can shop at the grocery store, but if I think someone is going to talk to me I break out in a cold sweat. We are learning the language and praise the Lord we do have a sweet Christian translator!! I don't know what I would do without her sometimes!!! Thank you for sharing this, it encouraged my heart!Juanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159800368455325138noreply@blogger.com
