Mission Choir

We had the opportunity of presenting two musical numbers Saturday April 30th at a Medical tour where Medical professionals from the church come to help new members who are contemplating serving a mission fill out their medical portion of their application process. Our missionaries sang two numbers, a missionary medley arranged by Janice Kapp Perry and Ye Elders of Israel from the hymn book. It was wonderful and we received many accolades from the listeners.

17 New missionaries

Our wonderful new missionaries include: Elders Rix, Cheney, Dold, Ryan Anderson, Dallin Smith, David White (our new tallest Elder in the mission) , Llewelyn, Miller, LaPray, Willardson, Henriquez, Alvarez, Rodriguez, Moran, Delgado and Sisters Neeley (our new nurse) and Washburn. Welcome.

Semana Santa - Easter Missionary work

In Guatemala the week previous to Easter is known as Semana Santa. It is when families rest from working and spend time together viewing the processions or going to bathe in the rivers or ocean.

In San Jeronimo Elder Mays and Elder Sorensen went the extra mile to locate families to teach during this period. They took pictures of families in the park as they were out walking and then made arrangements to return to give them the photo and offer to teach them the gospel. Great job Elders!

A pre-Easter Visit in Sayaxche

Sayaxche is a small branch just off the shores of the Passion River. One must travel on a ferry boat to cross the river to visit the branch. The District Presidency as well as the Mission President are focused on helping the small branch grow. We recently all went to show our love and support for this small but faithful group of saints. We also did house inspections and the Elders "passed" with flying colors. Thank you Moms for teaching them.
