C.O. Visit

        So this week we had the Spanish C.O. visit. They have been here 6 years, and are missionaries from Canada. Last week one of the local pioneers asked Candace to be on a demonstration at the service meeting. Well Candace was nervous thinking about having to be a Spanish householder at the meeting for service Tuesday morning, when I reminded her that we had the C.O. visit. So she asked the sister she was having the part with if she maybe meant the following week, the sister laughed and said no she meant Tuesday, but not for the meeting for service, but for the service meeting. So needless to say Candace was even more nervous now, but we all know Candace when she put her mind to something she doesn't stop until it is done right. So all day Tuesday she practiced and practiced, and when it came time to do the demonstration she nailed it. Everyone after said that her Spanish was good and couldn't believe she had been holding out on them for so long. I was very proud of her and even shed one single tear of joy as I watched her on stage.

So most of the week we worked Spanish territory, which involved me walking about four miles a day, needless to say my clothes where a little wet by the end of the morning. Good thing everyone else's  were also or I would have been embarrassed. Candace also has a really good bible study, that she will be sad to leave behind. She is turning it over to a new sister from the states, so at least it will continue when we leave. Saturday night the hall had a dance party for the C.O. and his wife at David and Amber's home, everyone here loves to dance, so it was nice to get together. Well we are only a week and a half away from returning and are very sad to leave. We have come to love it here as our home away from home. There is still so much work to be done, that it is hard to leave. So we will use this as motivation to return next year, knowing we have new friends, and family to come back to as well as a hardly worked territory that holds so much promise. With that said we can't wait to see everyone, and be back in Portland for awhile.
