We continued on with two more days of interviews. This day we were with the Escondido zone.
This missionary interaction was probably the highlight of my day at interviews. She is determined to be my how-to-learn-to-speak-Spanish cheerleader/motivator/coach/prodder/nagger--you name it.
She insisted I sign a contract with her. She's persistent. And she's a good follow-upper to see if I have been practicing my Spanish.
For dinner that evening we met up with our nurse Lynn Maughan and her husband Michael in Del Mar. We ate at a restaurant on the beach named Poseidon. The view was splendid!! The whole experience was very relaxing for us.
Our dear Sister Maughan has been serving as a mission nurse in the Carlsbad Mission for over 5 years. She's been amazing!!
The food was fancy and delicious--all except the salmon. Neither one of us liked the salmon, although it was a pretty presentation.
The next day we spent at the mission office doing interviews with the Vista zone.
That was the day an official envelop was delivered to us from the First Presidency extending our release and a thank you letter from Elder Uchtdorf on behalf of the Quorum of the Twelve. It was another vivid reminder that our work here is soon coming to an end.
It's that time of the year when the purple flowering trees are in bloom. They are so beautiful and we love seeing them.
We had our office staff meeting with Sister Miller, standing; Sister and Elder Burris; and Sister and Elder Van Aarle.
Sister Van Aarle brought cupcakes as it was our last meeting together.
Here are our office missionaries in their work habitats. Sister Van Aarle (housing coordinator); Elder Van Aarle (vehicle coordinator); Sister Burris (office secretary); Elder Burris (finance); and Sister Miller (records, supplies, newsletter, history, etc.)
Here are some photos of Ben and Kade that Haley took as she has been doing a photo a day.
Cute baby with some big eyes and a big grin.
