Sister Linda K. Burton and her Husband Visited Chile in May of 2012

On Friday, May 11 our mission had the wonderful opportunity to greet Sister Linda K. Burton and her husband as they visited and ministered to many people in Santiago. It was a great blessing to us to feel their love and to have the opportunity to express our love and support of them as Sister Burton embarks upon her calling as General Relief Society President. We immediately felt great love for her and her husband. We also had the opportunity to attend a fireside at the Lynch North Chapel where they taught us and fed us spiritually. What a blessing for Chile to receive Sister Burton and her love. We look forward with great anticipation to all that we will learn from them over the next few years. Sister Burton's visit is further evidence to us of our Heavenly Father's love for His Chilean children.

Our Mission Office

Our office missionaries take such good care of our office. They are responsible, smart, loving, and capable in every way. We love them and appreciate very much all that they do to keep the mission running smoothly.

April 2012 Mission President Seminar

During the month of April, President and Sister Laycock were blessed to be able to learn from every Mission President and wife in Chile, our Area Presidency and their wives, Elder Grow, and Elder Duncan of the First Quorum of the Seventy. We met together for two days and received training and instruction. We will be and do better because of the loving instruction we received. We are so full of gratitude for the Lord's chosen servants who lead and guide His Church throughout the world.

We were so thrilled to get to know these wonderful new missionaries. They are absolutely inspired and inspiring. They are eager to get right to work and to do the Lord's work in the Lord's way. They have capable, brave, kind, loving companions who will lead them and help them. And they will help their trainers to move to an even higher level of service and love. What a wonderful blessing they are to our mission.

After our orientation, we had lunch with all of our new missionaries. Then President Laycock interviewed them, and we sent them out into the world to teach, preach, and baptize their Chilean Brothers and Sisters! We have no doubt that they will be exceptional in every way!!!! We are so thankful for their safe arrival.

Medical Miracles in the Mission!

We feel so blessed to have such modern medical help in the Santiago East Mission. The hospitals are excellent, and the Doctors are skilled and helpful. Mostly, we are very grateful to our Heavenly Father for His constant guidance and protection! When our missionaries have medical needs, they are always taken care of and watched over in miraculous ways!

We love our missionaries very much, and we are grateful for all that they do and for all that they are becoming. They are strong and courageous. Through their love and conviction, they inspire us to be and do better in our own lives. Even in their trials, they are positive and inspiring. We are so grateful for them and for the families of all of our missionaries. We feel the support and love of every missionary's family, and that adds meaning and love to our service here.

We feel so blessed to know these fine young missionaries and to work beside them every day. We pray for God's choicest blessings to be upon them forever and ever.

We Said Good-bye to Four More Fantastic Missionaries on Monday, April 16-17, 2011

These four missionaries, Elder Vargas, and Sisters Hudson, Ewing, and McGee have been exemplary missionaries in every way. We will feel their excellent influence in the Santiago East Mission throughout all eternity. We love them so much, and we are sad to say good-bye to them, but we know they will accomplish many more miraculous works as they continue serving the Lord with all their hearts.
