Mission President's Seminar in Mexico City

We attended our third and final Mission President's Seminar a few days ago. It was great to see the other couples that are from our "generation" and will finish at the same time we do next year. From left to right, Pres. & Hna Cardenas, serving in Merida; Pres. & Hna Mendoza, serving in Monterrey East; Pres & Hna Fuentes, Mexico City West; Pres. & Hna Flores, in Chihuahua; Pres. & Hna Johnstun, Culiacan, Pres. & Hna Cox, serving in Leon, and us :)
This our new Area Presidency along with Elder and Sister Christofferson. The President is Elder Daniel Johnson and his wife, Elder Benjamin De Hoyos as first counselor, and also his wife, and Elder and Sister Tenorio, he is still the second counselor, he was in the previous Area Presidency as well. Elder Gonzalez of the Presidency of the Seventy is here, too.

This is Elder Walter Gonzalez of the Presidency of the Seventy. He is from Uruguay, it was so fun to hear his beautiful accent! He is a very, very nice man.


We got to have a picture with Elder and Sis. Christofferson when we were at the Visitor's Center. The whole group attended the temple together and it was an awesome experience. We are so blessed to associate with these wonderful people.

We are supposed to be getting a digital copy of the picture that was taken with the whole group - all the mission presidents and their wives from Mexico (21), the Area Presidency, Christoffersons, and Elder Gonzalez. When we receive the picture, I'll post it.

These Seminars are something that you will never forget. I know you miss your family, but I'm sure you
wouldn't want to miss these wonderful events that you have been able to participate in. Anyway, three years is plenty and we will all be glad when you can come home. Only 10 months left.:)

Ellen, I especially like that picture of you where you and Russ are with Elder Gonzalez. I like your hair that length.
