The Senior Couples are divided into "Districts" where we spend most of our time being taught how to teach effectively, This is our group. It's small, isn't it? Most Districts are small, but a few are as large as 8-10 people. I don't know why. From Left to Right: The Crosbys are from Vero Beach, Fla who are going on a Military Relations Mission in Japan. They will be in Okinawa Japan. They are learning Japanese. The Swans are from Vancouver, British Columbia, They are going to South Africa....english speaking. They are Member/Leader Support Missionaries like us. The Dunns who look a little tired, but happy, are going to Nashville, Tenn.....which looks like a party compared to the rest of this group. The Macbeths are from Hurricane, Utah, and they are going as Mental Health Advisors to the Asia Area, centered in Hong Kong, but covers most of Asia. They are learning Cantonese.
Okay, you ask "Who would take on teaching this mottley crew?" Well, this is our morning instructor, Brother Rowe. Does he look young? He is. About 23-24. He served a mission in New Zealand. But he is very able as well as cute. He is very patient and has really taught us a lot. We also have an afternoon instructor. I think it is because we are too hard on the morning one. They say it's because they are students also. Brother Copans come in the afternoon. He served a mission in South Africa and Botswana. Because of visa problems he did serve part of his mission in the Tennessee Nashville Mission. He is really good also, but easier to get off subject.
We are loving our experience so far. It is challenging, but fun. All the 123 Senior Missionaries have become friends. We have such good times sharing experiences with each other. I will tell you more later about some of the interesting people we have met.
My dear friends are the mental health advisors for Brazil--such an important and interesting call! I hope your trip to Tennessee is pleasant and uneventful.
