We are in Morales helping with a Dental
Clinic this week. Morales is about 3 hours from where we live, and
very hot! It is so much fun though getting to be with the Senior
Missionaries and working with them. We have also been able to work
with some of our future missionaries with their Dental checkups and
checking their missionary files. I contemplated on one of our
sisters who came to the clinic today and the process she is
undergoing to become a missionary, it is quite a journey. She is a
convert from Canlun, a very small branch, and will be the first
sister missionary to leave from the Branch. She is one of our future
missionaries who has a different type of challenge – learning
Spanish since her native language is Q'eqchi'. We had District
Conference in her District last weekend and she along with several
others had their interviews with President Watts. During the Sunday
meetings three of our missionaries who have received their calls bore
their testimonies. Sometimes this process of going on a mission gets
very complicated, because after they get everything done for getting
their call, when their call comes in they have to work toward getting
a Visa! We have new calls in right now from the ones we have worked
with for Costa Rica, Retelheleu Guatemala, Dominican Republic and
Bolivia (three are going to Bolivia!)
We did part of our Housing Inspections
and working on English with our Elders last week. It is so much fun
to visit with our Elders. We love hearing their testimonies and
watching them serve.
On the family side – we got our
airline tickets reserved finally and will be going home for 10 days
in May to see our children, meet 2 new grandbabies, renew our
Driver's Licenses and attend a wedding.
