Does that mean that you have had a wet spring? How is the water
situation for the growing season? Are the lilacs blooming? Just a
little peek, in our memories, at what Idaho is looking like.
We went to our Sunday meetings here in Trinidad today in the Couva
ward and there were about 35 in attendance. They have about 200
members so there is a lot of work that can be done in working with
those who are not coming. Pres. Gamiette has not assigned us yet so
we went to one of the wards that the Lusters have been attending.
This week is transfer week so it will be a wonderfully busy week. We
will have brand new missionaries from the MTC in Prove and also the
MTC in the Dominican Republic. There are 12 missionaries going home
and there will be a great send off. They have done a "marvelous work
and a wonder", many of which we have worked very closely with and
share special memories and tender feelings. We are also experiencing
tender mercies in the office. On Friday, Elder Wheeler was funding
the Elders' J. P. Morgan cards with their missionary support funds and
he came to Elder Johnson and tried to fund his card. When he tried
to submit it for approval, the computer froze and would not let him do
anything until he deleted the information on Elder Johnson's card and
went back to the name list. When he looked at the name list the
second time, he saw that there were two Elder Johnsons and after
further research he realized the he was trying to fund the wrong one.
When he entered the other one, everything worked perfectly. We know
the Lord blesses us in this work! We are getting to know the two
Sister missionaries that are serving in the mission office and they
have both had interesting lives. Sister Mimi is from Canada and is
teaching the Gamiette children English as well as acting as the
receptionist for the mission office. The Gamiettes are from Guadalope
which is French and have quite a challenge coming to Trinidad with
their family of five children. Sister Ellison is the mission nurse
and is also responsible for scheduling all the flights for the
mission. She had 60 flights to schedule for transfers this week.
There isn't any room for being bored!!! Transfers involve flying to
another country and then getting through immigration. We must give
each Elder the right instructions for entry into the country he is
being transferred to. So, we hope that we have covered all the
possibilities that may occur. Keep praying for all of us!
We know that our Father in Heaven is so aware of each one of us and
that we are extremely blessed by our membership in His true Church.
We are so grateful for the Prophet Joseph and the Restoration. We
know that the Priesthood is the authority to act for God. We know
that we can each be guided by the Spirit when we ask humbly for that
help. We know that the Jesus Christ is our Savior and mediator and
that this is His work of which we are all a part. It is very humbling
to realize that we have a part in preparing for His return. May each
of you have a blessed week.
