I have loved getting to "meet" other missionary wives through their blogs. It is so encouraging to read about ladies that have answered God's call to serve on the foreign mission field. One of my favorites to read is the blog by Jessi Cormier called Joy Unspeakable. When I first started reading Jessi's blog, she was taking language courses, just like us. I immediately felt a connection. As we've emailed each other back and forth, I knew I had found a friend. When we were trying to decide which country and family to feature for our Missions Emphasis this past Sunday (we're picking a new missionary and country every week in September) Patrick and I decided we had to pick the Cormiers.
Jessi has been such an encouragement to me. Recently, thieves broke into their house. She posted about it here. It was a scary time for them, but they've shown how to face trials on the mission field with God's grace.
Thank you so much, Kami. I do feel honored that you would post about our work and ministry here on your blog as well as tell your church people about us. What a blessing and encouragement it is for us to know people around the world (even in little St. Barth's!) are thinking of us and praying for us. We love you too and treasure your friendship! Maybe someday we'll actually get to meet in person!
