Walking into our apartment

         It’s been almost 3 weeks since our arrival in Guatemala City.  We arrived nearly at 10:00 pm after being on the go since 4:30 am.  Elder and Sister Lippincott and Fisher met us at the airport.  Since we received our calls six months previously, we had been in email contact with them and it felt like we were meeting old friends.  There is a community of senior service missionaries and church employees working at the Central America Area headquarters here in Guatemala.  They had all helped in preparing our apartment with furnishings, fresh linens, decorations, flowers and most importantly, food in the fridge and on the shelves. How delightful to step into this setting.  In the last 2 weeks, we have had family home evenings, movie nights, temple night, and break-the-fast dinner with this wonderful group.

Kids, this was Not your father's mission apartment ......wait a minute!  IT IS your father's mission apartment.
