Rough Week!

It's been a hard week for our Family. Our dear Grandpa passed away. We called the MTC and let Elder Brande know. He sent us a wonderful letter posted below. A few days after receiving this letter, we got a call from the MTC. Elder Brande has been having some severe abdominal pain this week. They took him to the Emergency room and thought he might have appendicitis. After a few tests they decided that is probably not the issue. He is still in pain so they are going to be running some more tests. Any prayers on his behalf would be appreciated!  His dad and I have been joking that perhaps it's revenge of the MOAD!  Here's his latest letter:

Subject: Storben ist nicht die Ende

Dear Mother,

As I came out of a practice meeting with an investigator a member of an MTC presidency pulled me aside and told me about your phone call. I was deeply saddened to hear about Grandpa, but also at the same time I was able to take a breath of relief. The Spirit was able to bear testimony to me that he was in a better place and that he isn't in pain anymore. I hated to see him, a man who was so strong be held down by his disease. All day we have been learning and mostly teaching about Der Plan Der Erloser and I couldn't help but teach that life and our journey doesn't end at death. I have found great comfort in serving others and teaching about the plan of salvation. Thank you for thinking about me and sending me a call, but don't worry about me i'll be fine, I hope that you are to find comfort and peace in knowing that Jesus died so that we could all live again. I love you and I know that Grandpa is in a better place

Love Elder Brande
