Hello all,
Sister Chandler believed it was my turn; so picture selection, and commentary are strictly the opinions of the writer, and do not necessarily represent the Policies and approval of the entire Chandler Mission establishment. (Sister Chandler).
Another heartfelt and Spiritual Feast here in Pohnpei this week. Seminary firesides are underway, 2 branches down and 6 to go. School here starts on August 12, at which time we will be teaching a noon time class at the largest High School every day, as well as support and training of 8 Home Study Teachers in the Branches around the Island. Our Firesides have been well attended, and a reminder that everyone here is hungry to learn, because at the firesides, we have 70yr olds to toddlers come, which has made playing some of our seminary games interesting to say the least.
Teaching in the evenings with the Elders is always a highlight to our day. They are fantastic teachers, and if you believe in Cosmic Math, or Angel driven tender mercies, this Saturday on August 3rd, I have been asked by one of our 42 yr old investigators to Baptize her, which is the same day my first born, Angela turns 42, and will confirm her on our 43rd Anniversary Sunday. You can call all that what you will, for us, another "tender mercy" for our Service here, as if we needed another one, because they happen daily!
I never knew quite how Missionary Work is so addictive, but pure joy is hard to live without once you taste it! The old saying certainly works for serving Missions as a Couple, "they just don't know what they don't know, till you try it! God bless you all who read this commentary as painful as it is.
P.S. Other pictures I added have to be clicked on at the left margin. Not sure how I did that? Starts with Jungle Car.

Hi Elder & Sis. Chandler,
ReplyDeleteThought I would check in on you and let you know that I am thinking about you and wondering if you got to listen to General Conference last weekend? I know that for my son in Thailand it was delayed a week and they will hear it this coming weekend. It was wonderful as usual. Kay and Marvin Rust will fly out Monday for their mission in Australia and they have set up a blog spot too. I hope all is going well for you and that you have found many who are searching for the truth. I miss you both and think of you so often. Much love, Joyce Clark
