New Assistant

On Tuesday Russ called a new assistant - his name is Elder Zapata. He was in the first group that arrived here after we did, back in August 2007. He'll do a great job. He will be the companion to Elder Lopez A.

Here's a picture of Elder Lake and Elder Lopez A - Elder Lake was released as the assistant and called to train a new missionary and work in a new area for his last cycle. He'll be going home in November. Elder Lopez A will be going home in December, so I think we'll probably have another change in the next transfer, too. Both of these Elders have a done a wonderful job and have been a tremendous help to Russ. We hate to see them go, but are anxious to see what they do in the next chapter of their lives.
