Elder Coca and English

The Area Presidency has stressed the importance of every missionary being bi-lingual,

While we work hard to invite people to Christ, 

we also have 1 hour set aside each day to study our 2nd language.

Elder Coca received his certificate of achievement from President Marler.

Congratulations, Elder Coca!

Congratulations to Elder Sotelo for receiving his English Certificate.  

 Elder Guillen also passed his English exam with flying colors,

Congratulations.

The reasons our missionaries desire to learn English are varied, some to have better opportunities in their education or future employment. 

Others, have a personal reason, to hear the Prophet of God, speak.  

Not through a translator, but with their own ear and understanding.

They want to read the books from the prophets that have not been translated into Spanish.

They desire to read the Book of Mormon in the language it was originally translated.

No matter the reason, we are so proud of our Elders and Sisters who have done so well on their

English exams, and we wish them the best in the future.
