Finding our Replacements

Sister Richards and her sister, Cindy

        Sister Richards’ sister Cindy is visiting for a week.  So fun to have family come and visit.  Nothing better than enjoying your sister.  Makes you feel normal – you aren’t crazy by yourself

Gina from our ward came in the office yesterday because it is P-Day for young missionaries.  Therefore, they

Cindy (Sister Richards’ sister), Gina (new member), Sisters Mortensen; Logue; Richards

get together to play basketball, etc.  Gina will be a great missionary.  She has only been a member for a year and she is on ‘fire’. 

Well, there is a definite shortage of Senior Missionaries.  It seems that there are not even service missionaries available.  President is looking at using some of the senior missionaries that we have now in the field.  Elder Boehrer and I talked about staying out longer, but we have known for a long time that June is the month we should leave.  Now we know why.  Elder Boehrer’s hip is really giving him a lot of pain.  As soon as possible, when we get home he will need to have another hip operation.  We are grateful for good medical insurance and most especially that we have been able to serve for this long.  What a great experience this mission has been for us – beyond hope.

Elder Maxwell has returned to our mission.  He had to leave and go home for a while due to the fact that he was having fainting spells!  Scary.  It runs in his family.  He is a great missionary and he is now back with us.  The doctor released him.  He is very happy and so are we.
