I am 4 weeks too late.<br />Bro. Peni was a giant of a man. He loved us missionaries. I stayed in his home. He cooked for us on occasion. He served us so selflessly. <br />I am reminded of what it says in D&C 84:88-92 88 And whoso areceiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go bbefore your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my cSpirit shall be in your hearts, and mine dangels round about you, to bear you up. <br /> 89 Whoso receiveth you receiveth me; and the same will feed you, and clothe you, and give you money. <br /> 90 And he who feeds you, or clothes you, or gives you money, shall in nowise alose his reward. <br /> 91 And he that doeth not these things is not my disciple; by this you may know amy disciples. <br />Bro. Peni was a true disciple of Christ. I will miss him when I finally return to New Zealand in a few months.<br />Lynn Larsen, NZAM 1988-1990lynnolarsen@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05647426901798611045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8511849571526027028.post-50968154594185158982009-12-04T16:23:51.174-08:002009-12-04T16:23:51.174-08:00My heart is saddened for this lost I got to know B...My heart is saddened for this lost I got to know Bro. Peni in 1977 and he has been faithful and loved the missionaries and their service throughout the years. I was fortunate to visit, with my wife, and stay at his home for a week in 1995 so she also feels the sadness of the loss. O that we could all remain as strong and positive as he. We love and will miss you Bro. Peni but know we will meet again.
