I am sending this letter to each name found on the Buenos Aires South Mission website ( www.mission.net ) who served with the Abads. Please pass the following on to any missionaries you know that served with the Abads that may not be on the list:
December 30, 2007
Dear Friends,
I just spoke on the phone with President and Sister Abad yesterday. President Abad is extremely sick. He was diagnosed last June with colon cancer and has had chemo with no success at stopping the cancer. Sister Abad is caring for him at home.
His attitude, as you can imagine, is the same happy, loving, caring, thoughtful attitude we remember when we knew him as missionaries. He is very easily fatigued, however, and is very, very thin. If I understood correctly, Sister Abad is caring for him full-time. She is trying to run their family business, but has to close it often to care for Pte. Abad.
They have 5 grandchildren now. The Abad children are all doing very well. Their youngest, Franscisco, is already 17 years old.
His sister and brother-in-law, Anna and Nestor Coronel, live in Salt Lake City. They will be leaving on Jan. 7th or 8th to visit the Abads. If you would like to send cards/letters to them, they will hand deliver them to the Abads.
If you're interested in helping, here is what you can do:
1. Send cards/letters/money to one of the addresses below.
3. Add the names of Pte. and Siter Abad and Family to temple prayer rolls every two weeks.
If any of you have suggestions that all of us, as former missionaries, can do together to encourage them through this time please email us.
Love,
Gwen (Taylor) Soper and Stan Soper

LDS QUOTE: |
"You are a great army of returned missionaries. Go forward with new zeal and determination, and through your example shine the light of the gospel in this troubled world. This is the Lord's work in which we are engaged. God lives. Jesus is the Christ. We belong to His Church. This is my witness to you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen."
