General Conference
is my favorite time of year and for us it is family time. So I was
missing my family just a little. Sister Jimenez came in for her transfer home
two days early so she could watch general conference and we were blessed to
house her. She is a beautiful person inside and out and we started asking
her about where she was from in Peru. My daughter Jenny was in Peru with
a humanitarian service experience about six years ago. We discovered
Jenny served near her little village and attended the same branch. Sister Jimenez remembered Jenny and those who served with her.
They had been with her in her home. At the time Sister Jimenez was fifteen and
in young womens. The young women were having an activity making
fancy hair accessories she wanted Jenny to come but Jenny had to teach an
English class at that time so Sister Jimenez made one for her. So
we skyped Jenny between conference sessions and they had a tender
experience reminiscing. Jenny still had the hair accessory and sent a
picture of it. It was so fun for all of us. It was Heavenly Fathers gift
to me to be with Sister Jimenez and hug her as she spoke to my daughter.
The magic of the mission is real and it seems that tender mercies are ever
present.
