Weeks of May 2020

Comings and Goings

For the whole month of May and the first week in June, we had constant change as we were assigned Ecuadorian missionaries who had to return home from the country they were serving in,  as we got missionaries who finished their online MTC training but couldn't go to their assigned mission yet, and as we sent some of our original missionaries home once their countries borders opened up.  

It was a moving target - everyday would change of what missionaries were coming and going.

Our leaders finally received smart phones and we were able to have our first zoom Consejo.  It was the first time in two and a half months that we were able to see our missionaries faces.  

It took until the end of May, but by then, everyone had smart phones and the work started picking up again.

Missionaries entering in from other countries had to be quarantined in a hotel for two weeks until they could enter our mission.  This was a huge group of 40 that had come from Mexico, had finished their quarantine and were ready to be assigned to our mission.
