Spencer flew to Torreon today. He called us from the SLC airport and we were able to talk for 75 minutes. He loved the MTC but is excited to get going in Torreon.
The part of our family not on missions is in San Jose, Mexico for Spring Break. Yesterday for church, we went to the
San Jose del Cabo Barrio. It was all in Spanish and we all loved it because it
reminded us of our three missionaries. This
was a humble ward. As the members filed in, they all walked up to us and stuck
out their hands: “Hola, Bienvenidos.”
During
the meeting, we noticed a family sitting on the 3rd row that we
could tell had been in the
church for generations. We were right about that and they were from
Spencer’s mission. After the meeting, they
came up and talked to us and were very excited that we had a son going to
Torreon. They are from Durango – which is
a neighboring city to Torreon. Their
relatives were the first members in the Torreon region. The father is a branch president in Durango. The nephew that was traveling with them has
just returned from a mission to Veracruz and knows Spencer’s Mission
President. His father is currently a
Mission President in the Mission to the south of Veracruz.
