Today is Alexis'
20th birthday! However in Australia it is now Friday, June 7th so it was
her birthday yesterday there. I am not in Australia, obviously, so it is
still June 6th here. This is the first birthday that we have not spent together,
but as strange as that is, I really am glad she is where she is. Not a
day goes by that I don't think about her, and wonder how she is doing.
She has had her struggles in these first three months, with the visa delays and
homesickness, but she is working it out. Already the lessons she has
learned will be invaluable to her throughout the rest of her life. To
hear her talk about calling people to repentance (not something she would do
naturally), and being so overcome with love for the people she is teaching it warms
my heart and makes all the hard stuff worthwhile.
I am grateful that my already amazing daughter, is having the
opportunity to learn and to grow while she is sharing the gospel in
Australia. I hope that she has/had an amazing birthday
today/yesterday (that whole different day thing is just weird), and that she
could feel of our love for her on her special day.
