Changes!

We have two new elders in our district as of last week. Elder Brown has replaced Elder Chen as our District Leader and Elder Luo has returned.  We just love Elder Luo! He's from mainland China and a great person. He was serving as a Zone Leader before being transferred here. President Wade likes to place his young missionaries back in the regular field just before they return home.

Here we are: in the back, Tom, Elder Anderson, Elder Luo (yes, unusual, but true, a Chinese elder the tallest of the bunch), Elder Brown and Elder Guan. On the front row: me, Sister Douglas and Sister Yu.

In addition to our regular responsibilities, Tom and I  have another change... a new, temporary assignment. We'll be teaching Book of Mormon Institute classes for four weeks to two dental student groups. One group of about 23 attending the University of the Pacific and a smaller group (8-10) attending University of California: San Francisco. We met both last  week and it should be a fun assignment. We're just bridging the gap between Elder and Sister White going home and the Sorensons arriving.
