Elder Santiago – Smiles like this are what greet us whenever we see the missionaries (especially when they have food)
Today we had Specialized Training for the Columbia and Frederick Zones of the mission. It was much the same training and the same lunch menu, but, it was different missionaries and that is what makes these zone meetings so enjoyable. You get to see the missionaries who serve throughout the Maryland Baltimore Mission, zone by zone. Tomorrow we will be surrounded by the Martinsburg and Winchester Zones of the mission. Can’t get better than that! The Elders and Sisters are so appreciative of all we do for them. They always thank us, but we feel like we want to thank them for being so uplifting and so enthusiatic to be around. They are young and inexperienced in many ways, but the growth they are getting while serving on their missions will go with them throughout their lives and we get to see them grow, struggle and overcome the barriers that are placed in front of them – granted, some handle it better than others – but we feel a part of that process and it is one of the most uplifting experiences of our lives.
