Training meeting for our "newbies"
Sometimes when our new missionaries come to the mission, they come 1 or 2 or more at a time, and rather than have many small training meetings, we will wait and have one big training meeting. This is one of those training meetings with our newest missionaries and their companions. President says they are a really good group of missionaries.
Our little Thanksgiving Feast
What are we grateful for in Mission Mendoza? So many things it is difficult to count, the Lord has blessed us so much in so many ways. But for a few hours last Saturday, we were very grateful for a beautiful Thanksgiving turkey on our office table, thanks to President Avila who in spite of the cost, made sure we had our turkey, unfortunately only the office Elders were able to enjoy it, and that they did.

The beauty of Mendoza
Everyday we see how beautiful our Mendoza Mission is and I thought we should share some of those sights with others, so here's a few.

Cerro de la Gloria
Elder T. Frost and Elder Tingey ran all the way up to the San Martin monument on Pday at least a 2 mile run to see this beautiful sculpture in North West Mendoza next to one of the largest parks in Mendoza which also contains the Mendoza Zoo. From this viewpoint you can look out and see the entire city of Mendoza.

Our newest missionaries
We had expected six new missionaries but because of visa problems they haven't arrived yet. However, Sister Ponce and Elder Casas came, both of Argentina. And our new Senior Sister Missionary, Sister Villegas came in a few days ago. We appreciate their willingness to serve a mission.
