We had a
good week and felt like we made some good progress with the PEF program. We emailed participants throughout Europe to
let them know about our new Service Center here in Lisbon, and we had quite a
few positive responses. Mike wrote a
detailed letter to point out some of our discoveries, make a few suggestions,
and report on what we have been doing.
On Friday we had a training meeting with leaders from Salt Lake and people
from all over the world. It was very
interesting to be able to see groups from Africa, the Phillipines, South
America, etc. all on the same screen and all participating in the meeting. Technology is really great. Some of the areas are using Facebook to
contact PEF participants that have been hard to find and are having great
success with it. It may be something
that we will eventually use also.
Mike and I
started walking to the office this week. It only takes about 10 minutes each way. So at least we are getting 40 minutes of
walking time in each day and it is fun to walk by a soccer field and see the
young people and occasionally the older ones playing. We always enjoy that.
We were
invited over to Elder and Sister Lund’s apartment for dinner on Friday
night. She fixed a lovely meal and we
enjoyed it very much. Elder and Sister
Wilson, who are just finishing their mission in Portugal and returning home on
Monday, were also there. We really
enjoyed visiting with them. They had
both served missions in Brazil as young people and she had also visited
Mozambique a few years back and had been in Maputo, Beira and Marameu (sp.?). She was in Marameu when there was a big group of
people from a church wanting to join the Church.
We are
loving the summer weather here. It has
been so pleasant.
We enjoy
hearing from all of our family and friends.
Please drop us a line and let us know what you are doing. We love you and wish you the best.
Elder and
Sister Henry
