We love our missionaries!!!




























































































We so much love working with all of our missionaries!!! Here are some photos of some of the activities we´ve had with our missionaries over the last couple of months.

The top photo is of our fearless leader, President Benton, heading up a mini army of our missionaries, as they "Adelante, con Fe y Esperanza!" (Go Forward, with Faith and Hope).
The next photo is of four of our missionaries that work in the Mission Office. From left to right: Our Assistant, Elder Woodmansee, from Oceanside, California, our "Financier", Elder Maxwell, from West Jordan, Utah, our "Pensionier" (Missionary Apartment Manager), Elder Varela, from Riverton, Utah, and our Assistant, Elder Fox, from Spanish Fork, Utah.
Next, we are standing with some of our departing missionaries and some of their parents at the "Casa Rosada", where Juan and Evita Peron made speeches from the balcony in the late l940´s.
We loved our "Mission Tour" with Elder and Sister Zivic, and there are a few photos of the Zivics and us with one of our Mission Zones.
There´s us posing with our two beloved Senior Missionary couples, the Hendersons, from Orem, Utah, on the left, and the Smiths, from Orem, Utah, on the right.
In the next photo, we´re all pointing at Elder Pollock, our former Assistant, from Heber, Utah, because he is going home and it´s his going away ceremony.
Then, there we are posing with our Sister Missionaries, who are always ready for a "photo shoot"!
There we are holding our "Best Mission in the World" banner outside the Buenos AiresTemple with new missionaries.
Then, more photos of our office missionaries as they demonstrate the "Coordinated Missionary Leg Cross" while waiting outside the Temple.
Next, more Sister Missionary photos, and another of the Elder and Sister Zivic Tour, and the bottom photo is of all the office missionaries just before Elder Pollock left to go home.
It all adds up to many wonderful and gratifying experiences we have had with our missionaries. They all fill our lives and our work with great joy!

We just dropped our son (Elder Robert Allen Pickett) off at the MTC and he will be heading down in a couple of weeks. He's in the advanced Spanish group. It's great to see your blog and get to know his "parents" for the next two years. He is so excited to serve in the land where I was born.

We are keeping track of his mission though this blog: elderpickett.blogspot.com
