Final Day in the Area Office

We were invited by the Area Presidency to join their weekly meeting on Tuesday. We were invited because we were leaving. Two other couples were invited because they are new.

Area President Godoy (from Peru) is fourth from the left. To his right, is his first counselor Elder Giuffra who is from Chile. To the president's left is his second counselor Elder Olsen who is from the US. They are all Seventies who serve until they are 70. Their secretary, Elder Olea is at the far left of the picture. He is originally from Chile but married a gringa and has lived in the US for some time. The couple on your right are the Clarks. They are originally from California but have lived in Canada for some time. To my right are the Bowens. They are from Utah. He is a retired surgeon and is helping with medical needs on missionary applications and with missionaries in the field.

Following that meeting, we went to lunch with the Communications team. Karen (next to Mary) is the leader. Next to her are Cristian, Daniel and Jeniffer. We will mis them.
