A few miscellaneous things, but mostly thanking our office Elders!

President Clayton and I are so grateful for our office staff and our assistants who do a multitude of extra things to help keep this mission running efficiently and effectively.
We are so grateful!

Waiting at the airport for new missionaries to arrive


I am grateful for the countless hours Elder Martindale
and Elder Anderson put into helping me submit this
years mission history.  They also helped me add color
photos and bind our two previous years.

Our office Elders help with countless miscellaneous
things every time we meet for our training, and conferences.
They plan and organize the lunches, deliver the mail,
keep our zone leaders well supplied with mission
material. They take care of all missionary apartment issues, 
mission finances, visas, certificates and letters, flight tickets 
to return home, arranging for and administering English
 tests at the completion of the mission, referrals.. on and on.
They also carry most effectively, their own proselyting areas.
We are so grateful for each of them.
They are organized, detailed, disciplined
and effective... and we appreciate them!!


We had a thank you lunch for them this past week
as Elder Moreno will be training his new replacement
and leaving the office in the coming weeks.
