2011 April - A visit from former Elder Santiago

We received a surprise visit from a great former zone leader,
Elder Santiago. He owns property in East Guatemala
and he is a successful farmer working the rich soil in Guatemala.
Yes, in a different way...the field is white and ready to harvest.

2011 April - Seminar with Elder and Sister Hinckley

The first week of April, all mission presidents and their
wives gathered in Guatemala City for a two day seminar with
Elder Richard G. Hinckley, Executive Director of the Missionary
department, and his wife. As always, we learned so much and
wrote as fast as we could. Great ideas to help our missionaries
reach their potential.

2011 April - Cambios!

We said "Adios!" to Elder Romero returning to Honduras
and to Elder Tux returning to Northern Guatemala in Coban.
It has been a pleasure serving with you, both!!


Bienvenidos a Nuevos Misionarios!
(L to R) Elders Tanner, Pilj, Tays, Loo and Ochoa


Having lunch in the mission home training room with
APs Elders Davis and Moore.


Office changes! Elder Corbett who has been our very
capable financial secretary is training his replacement -
Elder Francis - welcome to the office!


Our great nurse, Sister Ralph, is training her replacement,
Sister Searle! Welcome to the office! The life as a mission
nurse can be explained in two words: "BE FLEXIBLE!"
(Our 11th commandment for all office missionaries!)

2011 April - The Change Process

Every six weeks the Assistants to the President, Elders
Davis and Moore and President work on mission area
changes for several hours...


Our office secretaries, who execute the change process
are thanked in advance for their hard ward and dedication
as the change process takes a full week of computer changes,
board changes, introductory letters to new Bishops,
and a plan to move all the missionaries. We have
great secretaries: Elders Petersen, Lydiksen, Corbett, and
Lontine who so capably make this happen...


First look at the board! All these changes are confidential,
and the missionaries all know the secretaries have all this
information! Remember, "Loose lips sink Ships!"


Elder Davis is preparing Elder Moore to take the lead in the
change process as he will be heading back out to the mission
field in six weeks.
