Remote Mission Week 24 - August 15, 2021

August 15, 2021

 ¡Hola a Todos! (Hello All!)

 

Today we celebrate six months into our mission…time flies! We hope to be able to actually go to Peru, and we may have that opportunity sooner rather than later…stay tuned!

 

Lane has been doing a lot of housing contract work – writing/modifying contracts with the Area, working with the landlords to nail down payment details, and working with the office elders to obtain the proper signatures. His legal background has been a big help…none of the rest of us like to trudge through the legalese.

 

I am still struggling to understand Spanish! But I find comfort in this thought from Elder Uchtdorf (April 2021, General Conference):

 

“We are all infants compared to the beings of glory and grandeur we are designed to become. No mortal being advances from crawling to walking to running without frequent stumbles, bumps, and bruises. That is how we learn.”

“As we seek to follow Jesus Christ and walk the path of discipleship, line upon line, the day will come that we will experience that unimaginable gift of receiving a fulness of joy.”

 

¡Que tengan una semana súper fantástica! (Have a super fantastic week!)

 

Love,

 

Lane & LeAnn


Zoom call with a representative from the church Area office, helping us figure out the process of getting to Peru on a tourist visa and then changing it to a religious visa upon being there.  The church authorized us to follow this process as part of a pilot program (although LeAnn thought they said "pirate" program!).



Our neighbor and member of our ward is a service missionary working on the temple grounds for the Mt. Timpanogos Temple...  and she keeps her own yard just as beautiful!



Our daughter and her kids picking up their new puppy (a cavapoo).
The kids were so excited!  But Ryder was at the end of his rope!



Elizabeth and Jaron's daughter enjoying her first French fry with us at a burger shop! 
She doesn't eat much yet, but likes to suck the salt off!
