conference weeks are some of the best when serving as Senior
Missionaries. This week we had two, one for the Polochic, which
included the valley Elders and Chulac. Then the one for Senahu,
which included the rest of the “mountain elders”. Love being
around the missionaries! Working with and seeing their dedication
and love of the Gospel is amazing. We try to make sure we visit as
much as possible with each of them individually “checking in”
making sure if they have a problem or need something we can help them
with. Sometimes it may mean they are out of insecticide, or they are
dealing with stress or strain and need some exercises, or they are
sick and we need to find out how to help them. It becomes a lot
We
were also able to spend time with President and Sister Curtiss and
share with them some of our concerns for the members and missionaries
in our areas. Refocused a little our direction for these last
remaining weeks, so hopefully we will be of more service. We even
got to have the Curtiss's and the Kirks for a pancake breakfast at
our home! The Kirks are the other Senior Missionaries that are
working with us in the mission now. They live in Coban and help with
Alta Vera Paz, Coban, Peten and in the office. Still great hopes
that a couple will come in to take our place when we leave in
October.
After
the conferences we headed down to the capitol, turned in the car to
get some repairs done then got to spend the evening with other
Sernior Missionaries. Every missionary working as a Senior has such
a different type of experience in their mission, with what they are
doing and the challenges they face. It is novel for us to hear.
Super
excited to get to spend some time with the Watt's tonight! We have
missed them a lot, but tonight we will go play together. Tomorrow
morning we pick up our daughter Erica at the airport and she is going
to spend a whirlwind week with us. So excited to introduce her to
all our friends and share with her our mission! I forgot the camera cable so will post Zone Pictures when we get back to Senahu.
