127 Missionaries!!!

 Wow!  We are growing every transfer!  We now have 127 Missionaries serving in our mission!  It's hard to remember how calm it was when we started and only had 40 missionaries.  We are constantly looking for more apartments and seem to always be on the road with interviews and zone conferences!  It is amazing!  It is always so sad to say goodbye to our Los Fieles.  But the very next morning we receive our  los Refuerzos and it is so encouraging to hear their testimonies and their desire to serve.

Elder Hicks arrived late in the night from the Provo MTC

Welcome Elder Vigo, Elder Olivares, Elder Frattoni, Elder Aramayo, Elder Balderrama, Elder Benitez, Elder Saracho, Elder Godoy and Elder Alcantara.  Hermana Hiatt, Hermana James, Hermana Berg and Hermana Gurney.

We said goodbye to some great leaders this transfer!  What great servants of the Lord they were!  We know they will go on and do Great things in their lives and can't wait to see what they accomplish!!

We love you Elder Salvatierra, Elder Notario, Hermana Gonzalez, Hermana Catacora & Hermana Wright!

Family

Our daughter Savannah brought her family to visit!  We were so excited to meet our newest grandson!  It was so fun to show them around our mission and have them meet our missionaries!  We traveled to San Martin and Bariloche so they could see the Patagonia!  What an incredible journey they had!  It was a 30 hours of travel with 2 little boys!  They were so good!  The weather was perfect!  it has been really hot but for them it was in the 70's and 80's!  What a joy to share our mission with part of our family!!

 

We were able to be present while Jake blessed our Grandson Saint!  What a treat to be there and not on zoom!!

Of course in Bariloche I took them to Rapanui to get ice cream!  If you are ever in Bariloche, you need to try Lemon Pie ice cream at Rapanui!   It is the best!!
