Manzanillo Interviews!

Happy Valentine's Day from Manzanillo!!
We are so glad to be here in Manzanillo for Valentine's Day!  We love this place, and love these missionaries!  What a great day we had together!

On our way this morning.


ok, that picture clicked before we were ready :)


Here we go.


Working on the outlines!


Our new missionaries making sure they understand
each point of doctrine and the flow of the lessons.










Zone Leaders Elder Long and Elder  Torres.
working on the outlines

















Good for them!





I love this.


This was so precious, as Elder Mora 
began reciting the outlines in English. 
He did not know I was behind him listening.
I started recording well into his reciting.



Then this group gathered  in a circle and each of them
went round and round reciting each outline, picking
up where the last elder left off.
I loved it!

Part 1



Part 2

Taking off... 


us on the bus.
What wonderful missionaries!


We walked and walked, and walked some more,
and surprisingly met Sister Hooper and Sister Herman 
along our way ... we decided we couldn't pass up
taking a quick selfie :)


These two darlings decorated the door
of one of their investigators
who wasn't home, with a heart attack!


On our way back to the chapel. 
Great experience!



Colima Interviews!

What a beautiful morning it has been!  It's a gorgeous warm day with a big blue sky.  It's a perfect day to meet with the fabulous missionaries here in Colima.  I love this building. It's the building right off the highway, the Centenario building.   It is in a beautiful setting and is always clean and well kept.
We had a wonderful day with these missionaries.  I am proud of their efforts to learn these outlines.  They worked diligently on the outlines as President Clayton interview them one by one.
 Here are some pictures of our day together.

Here are the dancing dogs.  They look as if they are dancing, but the story is that the grandfather is whispering wisdom into the ear of the younger dog.



We took a quick selfie while President was talking with the zone leaders....



Here we are the Colima Zone!
With our outline checkoff papers.



















I'm sorry Elder Novak's eyes are closed...










President and I went on divisions.
President Clayton went with Elder Anderson 
and Elder Novak


I went with Sister White, Sister Urbina
and Sister Sandoval.  We headed out
together, taking a taxi to the same neighborhood,
and then we divided out.  Sister White and I
 taught a sweet sister named Juana.  We
focused on prayer and her reading in
the Book of Mormon.
It was a wonderful visit.


We had a great time together!


Each zone that President and I visit, 
we are so impressed with the 
quality teaching our missionaries
are providing. These sisters are devoted
and faithful!  I love them so much!


President keeps videoing us walking off together :)




Interviews with the Guzman Zone!

We had a beautiful drive this morning to Guzman.  Spring has sprung and it is warm outside with such a beautiful blue sky.  As we arrived, and this zone was ready and anxious to begin.
Elder Salinas and Elder Ruiz had everything clean and ready.

These missionaries did very well as they worked at passing off their outlines.










Here we are with those detailed outline checklists :) 


We did divisions on Sunday after district conference.

President went with zone leaders 
Elder Salinas and Elder  Ruiz


I went with sister training leaders
 Hermana Lopez and Hermana Calixto
I love them so much!


President took a picture of us walking down to catch the bus.






On the bus.  I treasure these experiences!
I love these two fabulous missionaries!
