We have had a great month.
It has been busy and we are enjoying ourselves. We keep busy with our Mission and activities
with the senior couples. We enjoyed having 4 missionaries over for Sunday
dinner. Brought back many memories of
seeing how much teenage boys could eat.
It is so fun to visit with them and have them give us a message. 2 English speakers and 2 Spanish. So I am getting to practice my Spanish.
The weather is starting to feel like fall. And when we get rain it really comes
hard. Friday night had hail that made
dents in about 75% of the mission cars.
We were lucky ours was parked in a garage.
We even got to see our
first horse race. It was a food truck fair at the Hippodrone. Which is a racetrack. It was fun to watch and
memories of going to a horse race in Panguitch.
We love to watch and be with the people.
The open chapels are keeping us busy. We now have 425 scheduled for the year and
had 78 just in March. We had the
opportunity of traveling to Chile and also Mendoza to meet with our Mission
Coordinators and to attend Capillas Abiertas and training. It is so great to see the gospel in
action. It was fun flying over the Andes
and seeing even a little snow after a hot summer. Also seeing how big Buenos
Aires really is It goes for miles and
miles, about 16+ million people.
Also small world. Our
driver in Santiago Chile was on the same mission as Lainie and remembers Sister
Chapo and also Spencer Clark. He is a driver for the transfers and
missionaries.
Mark Lowrance’s son Caden is in Santa Fe on a mission and
one of our senior Missionaries ran into him.
We had a Pascua (Easter) campaign with a picture of Christ
and the family search logo. They put
these on the back windows of 50 buses throughout the city for 2 weeks. So many people are seeing them. It is amazing the strong family ties and how
everyone wants to know about their ancestors. It seems that each missionary has their story
of how things worked so that they could serve.
It shows our Heavenly Father knows each one of us and has a plan for us.
As we approach Easter and Conference we would like to express
our love and appreciation for our Savior.
That he died for us and through His atonement we all will be saved. It is true and so important for us to share
and live our lifes as He would want us to.
We are looking forward to listening to Conference and participating in
sustaining our new prophet Pres. Nelson
Thank you for all your love and prayers. We love and miss you but know we are where
we are suppose to be in this chapter of our lives.
Abrazos,
