What a week! Monday started with 70 some couples going around the world to serve the Lord in various capacities. One of the first things that was done was to split the large group into smaller "districts." It was in these districts where we were taught how to teach.
From Right to Left- Me, Marcia, Sister & Elder Wallace, Elder & Sister Dabell, Sister & Elder Moon, Instructor Brother Hawkes |
Elder Wallace's district with Instructor Sister Reese next to Elder Wallace |
Elder and Sister Moon are also on their third mission. I'm not sure where their previous ones were. They are heading to the Democratic Republic of the Congo on an employment mission. They will serve in helping members of the church and others who may be looking for employment. They will also assist in counseling those who may be receiving assistance through the Perpetual Education Fund.
The third couple of the group is Elder and Sister Dabell from Montana. They, too, will be serving an employment mission in Africa. They will be serving in South Africa covering a large territory. This is their first mission as a couple having recently retired.
Starting on Monday we will continue training in Salt Lake City. This will be training that will be specific for Marcia's assignment as the Area Mental Health Adviser for the Philippine area. As of yet we're not sure quite yet what I'll be doing but I know that I will be put to work!! We are ready to hit the ground running when we get there. We will be leaving on July 29th and arrive in Manila on the the 31st. Exciting times ahead...
Marcia and I saying goodbye, for now. |
