Mission Leadership Council…July 2014

The Mission Leadership Council meets every month

the council is made up of all the Sister Trainer Leaders and Zone Leaders

 Sister Calle, our mission nurse, taught us how to care for our backs and necks.  We need to keep health and fit to be great missionaries who walk miles and miles each day.

 President Marler and the Assistants provided training on various subjects

 Sister Marler taught about the Saviors love and how we can emulate him 

and be better friends to all we meet

 Sister Evans and Sister Allred played a beautiful medley on the piano and violin. This will be our last musical number by Sister Allred, as she will be retuning home in 2 weeks

Missionary sightings

It seems that we are finding missionaries everywhere we go.  

We love finding missionaries in the airport and on the streets

Meet a few!

 Sister Marler and Sister Zambrano heading for home after a few days in Lima

 Missionaries from the Arequipa mission, they enjoyed some Chocolate Iquitos…and had Dunkin' Donuts with us

 Sister Zobrist shared this beautiful Chocolate bar…we ate around the llamas!

 We met Elder Esquivel on route to his mission in Columbia.  We had a great visit and took a few pictures.  Elder Esquivel is from the Barrio florencia de Mora…in the Estaca Este

 Columbia Cachabumba, you are getting a great missionary with Elder Esquivel

 Walking down the street in Lima, we ran into some great looking missionaries.  They were all smiles and said, "we think we know you!"  Yep it is true, they are missionaries from the Lima MTC, all headed to the Trujillo Peru Mission.  We were so excited to meet them.

 Lima Peru temple

 We went to the temple twice and enjoyed the serenity, oh how we love the temple

 So we went for a little taxi ride and ended up at the Lima MTC…what a great experience!  We met our future missionaries.  Thanks to President and Hermana Gonzalez for the invitation to the MTC…we sure appreciate you

 Sister Maskovich and Sister Matafeo enjoying some time with the President

 We so enjoyed meeting with the Elders and Sisters.  It reminded us of 1 year ago when we met our missionaries in the Provo MTC…we love our missionaries

Eating a little dinner at the Lima CCM

Dinner at the MTC, visiting with our missionaries, a devotional with Elder Ballard from the MTC in Provo,
what a great way to spend an evening

Can't wait until you all get to Trujillo, thanks for the great evening

Ivan was baptized on Saturday!!!!

Our dear friend, Ivan, was baptized on Saturday in Ascope.  After months of attending church and enjoying the love and fellowship of the Acope Ward (local congregation), Ivan decided on Saturday, June 14 as his special day.   Sister Lasike and Sister Rejala were so excited to have Ivan enter the waters of baptism
