President Hacking made a BIG pot of hot chocolate for all the members that came to the temple from Barrancabermeja. We served 45 people. President Castillo, the District president, is talking to President Hacking.

Teaching, teaching, teaching.
We often have the missionaries do practicas, or role playing to improve their teaching skills.
Elders giving their presentation to the primary.
In one of our specialized trainings, the missionaries divided up into groups and demonstrated how missionaries could teach in the primary, young women and the relief society.
Many young men and young women came to the temple from Cali Mission.
We were invited to speak to a large group of young people that traveled twelve hours to get to the temple. We were the invited speakers, and it is always a good experience.
Two of our assistants.
Elder Machacuay from Peru, and Elder Jorquera from Chile, are two of the many good assistants we have had over the past 2 1/2 years.
A typical scene in Bogota streets.
When we are walking to the office, we often have people put out blankets are tarps with their goods they are selling. This Ecuadorian lady has her baby sound asleep tied on her back. She is selling beautiful scarfs.
More new missionaries.
Our new missionaries arrived in two different groups. These three arrived late at night, and they were tired the next day for breakfast before they went to their new areas. We have on the left, Elder Interiano from Mexico, Elder Sanford from Arizona, and Elder Patrick from Utah.
Our first new group for 2012.
This was a big group, but the truth is, there was also two temporaries as well that are not in the photo. We have them from Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru. Don't ask me there names yet, but we will learn them.
