Everywhere you turn - Missionaries !!

Exciting news I'd like to share. Sister Evelyn Cachay received her mission call to Columbia, Bogota South. We are SO happy for her. She will be a wonderful missionary, and wonderful example to her family.

Two Elder's from Morgan, Utah have been called to Columbia, Barranquilla. President Porter's son, Nathan, and Jansen Bennett. This is the same mission that Mamita Teresa and Welinton Vera Cruz's son Jimmy was called to last October! I'm sure they will meet up.

My good friend's daughter, Sister Jenni Lake entered the MTC yesterday. She's going to France, Toulouse mission. I am so happy for everyone in their family. What an example she is setting.

Last but not least, I've been asked by the Morgan Utah Stake Primary to put together a slideshow of all of the current missionaries serving from our stake, for "Envision Your Mission", a presentation for 11 year old boys. It will be so much fun, and so rewarding. I can hardly wait to get working on it.

Goodbye for a little while.....

Jimmy, Landon's good friend from Tarapoto, left on his mission last week.

He is Welinton and Mamita Teresa's son. Mamita Teresa was Landon's "pension" in Tarapoto. He will be serving in the Colombia Barranquilla Mission.

We received pics from Mamita Teresa yesterday, and have posted them here.

Remembering Tarapoto

From April 23rd to August 12th, Landon served in Tarapoto, Peru. It was a wonderful area, with wonderful people. Mamita Teresa, his pension took such good care of him, and Gabo - how can we ever repay you for your kindness? Landon's two companions in this area, Elder Evans, and Elder Flores, were great. Landon learned so much - How to be patient, how to be Comp Mayor (Senior Companion), how to be humble......... Check out the pics here.

Mamita Teresa

"I love my pension. She is called Mamita Teresa. To best describe her, she is like *Marsha Walker, haha, I love her. She is outta control, and she is awesome. Never sad, so she is my kinda person… I love her…"

"She and her family live about 2 blocks away from our place. The family is awesome. The husband is the President of the branch, and they only have one son who is preparing for a mission. It's a great family .. very humble.. their house is humble, if you know what I mean... it's awesome."

"The food is about the same. Same kinds of food and stuff.. it's good.. Nothing wild yet...haha"

*Note - for those of you who don't know Marsha Walker, you are missing out. She is one of MOST FUN ladies in Morgan, maybe in Utah for that matter. She has a daughter, Natalie, who is Landon's age, and Marsha always supported the kids in all of their sports and activities through the years. The picture of her above was taken at Halloween. Landon is right, she is outta control :)
