Here we are, it is Sunday again and time for
another post. As usual, we spent the
week in meetings with and training of missionaries. We also started interviews on Friday, since
that is our task for May.
May 1 is a big holiday in Chile—Labor
Day. Because pretty much everything was
closed and hardly any transportation available, we had interviews at the
mission home and the office elders helped out by delivering missionaries to us
and returning them to their sectors after.
Also last week, we went to lunch
with the area medical advisor and his wife, who return home on May 7. We have really enjoyed getting to know them
and they have done a wonderful job here in Chile. I’m sure it was a difficult challenge for
them to serve here without speaking Spanish, but they worked hard, found ways
around the language and made a difference.
They are definitely on the list of amazing people we have come to know
and love during our mission.
We also held the last two zone
training meetings so I hope you don’t mind a couple more pictures of creative
scripture reenactments. During these
meetings one of our talented senior sisters repaired clothing brought in by
missionaries. She is a valuable resource
for this service because they have no other place to take repairs.
Just to round out the week, we held
mission leadership conference on Wednesday.
That way we avoided the transportation challenges of the holiday
weekend. It is always great to have the
mission leaders in the mission home, not only as we are doing training, but
also because we enjoy being with them; they also enjoy being with each
other. Sometimes we have to push them
out the door!
All in all, it was just another
typical week in the Chile Rancagua mission, but thanks for reading, and have a
great week.
