This handsome couple stopped by the office. That would be the couple on the left. Pres. Don Hunter was mission president in 1993-1996. He and his wife lived in the same mission home we do. They had one live-in maid and another who came in daily as well. No thanks! The first words out of his mouth were, "Are you still the number one baptizing mission in the world?" I answered that we are far from it. He responded, "Good." Apparently before he began his term of service, there was a lot of goofy stuff going on which he stopped. Our focus is to baptize what we call "true converts." He had 105 missionaries, 36 of them sisters. The sisters all served in Veracruz. He averaged 25 Americans. The mission has surely changed. We have 192 missionaries, 20 sisters serving all over the mission, 66 non-Latin Americans, and a housekeeper who comes in 20 hours a week when we are not here. Perfect.

President . . . I think you let them buzz a little too much off the top of your haircut - Pres. Doll has the same problem! Hah! We tried to change the maids schedule to only come in only before and after transfers and she had a cow. Wasn't about to change the every other Friday arrangement she had in place with the previous M/P wife. I think it cost her here job. No one showed up to clean yesterday . . . I've been assured someone else would be found to work on our "as needed" basis. The least of our worries . . .
Joella!! I found your blog and I am so excited about it. I am so excited that you and Pete are mission presidents, what an awesome opportunity. My husband is always talking about how he loved his mission president..its just such a rewarding experience as a whole! I love you guys and I am glad to be able to catch up on your life a little bit!
