The Day After

Elder Schenk had a very quiet day. He continued to respond, but seemed tired from yesterday's eventful day. I suppose he deserves a rest! He had a nasty cough at times. We guess that his lungs are trying to clear the last of the pneumonia. All tests and cultures remain very positive. The doctor says things are great. Patience. Our thanks continues to all for your faith and prayers, and to Our Heavenly Father and Our Savior Jesus Christ for answering those prayers. We ask for blessings upon all others who are struggling as well. All our love, Steven, Karla and Elder Schenk

  2. I think you all deserve a rest! It will be good for Britten to get lots of rest so his body can continue healing. Remember, blessings come after the trial of your faith. You have all been so faithful and showed such strong faith. The blessings will keep coming! We love you and are grateful that we have a loving Heavenly Father and Savior that are answering prayers and looking out for you.
    Keep strong!
    Love,
    Laurie & Derris

  5. As I read your posts from the love you have felt from the Brazilian people and the support you have received it makes me reflect on my time as a missionary in Brazil. I still think of the people as my Brazilian Family and I am sure Britten feels the same way. It just goes to show how great of a missionary he truly is. Even without being able to get back on the streets he is still touching lives in his hospital room and thousands of miles away. We continue to pray for you guys and are so grateful and excited to hear of his improvements. Thank you for taking the time to keep us posted. We love you guys! Cody, Holly, and family.

  6. So happy for your family! The families of approximately 55,000 other missionaries are pulling for you. I love reading your posts at night before family prayers. It helps guide our family's daily prayers.
