semana santa...

¨...his hand is stretched out still...¨ 
2 Nephi 19:21

This is HOLY Week...or I would say it was a WHOL - E week of work.

Actually being with the missionaries one on one is a HOLY experience.

Their spirits, their insecurities, their desires, their happiness, their testimonies...

It is one of my favorite things to have this time to KNOW these young men and women.

We started the week with saying goodbye to one of our sister missionaries.

She is headed off to a HOLY experience at the temple in Bogota.

One of her convert families will be sealed 
and 
she will attend on her way home to the Dominican Republic.

 We had a farewell dinner at Leños y Carbon...a good steak and a paper bib...and better company!

 We Love you, Sister Marte!

So happy for you Sister Marte.

La Costa Zone

It is always tradition to have lunch with this zone before they travel back to Buenaventura

...they can eat a WHOLE  lot of pizza!

Zarzal and Tulua Zones

A WHOLE day...
We start at the area farthest North in the mission
Stopping in Zarzal and Andalucia

 We then stop in Tulua for the whole afternoon
and make our way to Buga

We finally made it home shortly before 10pm...a WHOLE day indeed!

San Fernando Zone

Villa Colombia Zone

Appropriately so...we finished interviews on GOOD FRIDAY!

and this is how our assistants feel after training the WHOLE mission!

Good Friday continued 
with a visit from one of our Returned Missionaries

 Ben Belnap and his wife Jackee....it was good to have this AP back!
and

an activity with our Sister missionaries and their investigators

Happy Easter!!!
from the WHOLE Cerrito Branch!

 We were asked to speak at the Cerrito Branch today.

 Here we are with Branch President Albornos and his wife.

Happy Semana Santa!

¨More holiness give me, More strivings within,
More patience in suff´ring, More sorrow for sin,
More faith in my Savior, More sense of his care,
More joy in His service, More purpose in prayer.¨
