We introduce to you our new Urdaneta Mission President and wife,
President Ernesto Deyro and Sister Deyro.
We met them in their Mission Home, such lovely people, kind and listening.
They have brought some of their family to live here. Their schedule was busy immediately.
One of their daughters returned home from her Mission 2 days after their arrived.
Here are their 2 daughters.
Then on Saturday, we saw Pres. and Sister Deyro again as we attended a Returned Missionary Fireside with Elder Pedro Addurru of the 70's.
He encouraged the RM men to get married. He counseled that although we love all people, we still stand for the Commandments of Jesus Christ.
Elder Roberts was a Returned Missionary from the Canadian-Alaska Mission in 1965-1967. He even rode horses for 3 months to proselytize.
Sister Roberts was not a full-time RM, but she was a Salt Lake City Temple Square Service Missionary in 2003-2006.
She was another Service Missionary in Utah Moroni Stake Family History 2013-2014, till we came on our Mission here.
All of the RM's got to wear their badges tonight.
At dinner are: District Counselor Pr. Almonte, Elder Addurru, Districe Pr. and Sister Jardeleza, Elder and Sister Roberts, Mission Pres. and Sister Deyro.
President Deyro's first Zone Conference was inspiring and friendly.
He talked about being exactly obedient, no Carabou belts on Missionaries allowed.
He loves the Book of Mormon and said it is the best teacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
He encouraged excitement of baptisms, with focusing on Conversion to endure to the end of life.
Try to remember Elder Johnson here at the end of the table saying ah.. and his companion, Elder Sapaden. We will give a surprise about them in our next blog....
Our San Fabian Sisters - are the 4 at the front of the table that we see every week in our San Fabian work.
President Deyro gives advice to Elder Brown, the Supply Mgr.
One sweet, fun Sister Missionary was not present. We had sat with her the day before in the Hospital, after an appendectomy operation.
She felt much better a few days later. Her faithful Companion stayed with her. I taught them a bit of crocheting.
We also introduce our new Senior Couple, Elder Theron and Sister Cathy Anderson. (Now we have 2 Sr. Couples- we are the other one)
They are from South Jordan, UT and will give classes on Self Reliance.
They are full of fun, and we love them.
They have only been here a short while.
They give many classes on how to find your own gifts and talents, prepare to interview for a job, and learn to give power statements on the positive aspects of yourself.
They also give English Classes
Jesus said,
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
We serve our Lord and our God wherever he may send us, we love God and Jesus Christ and the Mission they sent us to.
We love the Book of Mormon and invite all to read it everyday. It will bring the Spirit of the Lord into your hearts and home.
In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
Love, Elder and Sister Roberts
