It is all about the people you meet on a mission.
One of the great things about going on a Senior Mission is the amazing and interesting people you get to meet. These are both Samoan as well as people from around the world. We meet people at the store, at the beach, and all over. This blog is dedicated to local people around the our local area.
Quarterly Interviews
Each quarter we get together as missionaries for a dinner with the Mission President and his wife. Sometimes we have the Temple Presidency and their wives. I counted 30 Senior Missionaries including the Presidencies at our last dinner. It is amazing hanging out with such great people. We always have great missionaries around since we live close by the Mission Home and Temple.
Elders sang before dinner.
Visiting Dentist Families
Our Senior Missionary Dentist negotiated with the Samoan Government to allow Dentist giving Humanitarian service to come for two weeks. (Previously the minimum was to 2 months.) This allows more dentists and their families to visit and give service.
The families give service and see our beautiful island. Here are two young dentist families.
Carden Family from Tulsa Oklahoma for FHE
Pulicifer Family from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho for FHE
Neighborhood Kids
Our neighborhood kids come over for candy and suckers (lollies). We usually get them to sing us a song.
the Pulsifer family from Couer d Alene is probably son of one of my companions Doug Pulsifer as he had his dental practice there and his son was in the practice. Glad you are enjoying your mission so much.
