This is some of the couples that we were with at the MTC. The couple on the left are the Anderson's. Elder Anderson is completely blind. But you would never know it. He looks right at you when you are talking to him. His wife is an angel. It is just their way of life. He has been going blind since he was quite young but has been a counselor and has some special computer for the blind and with an earpiece, the computer tells him what is on the screen and then he responds by typing in whatever. His hands are always inside his smaller than a laptop computer. Sister Anderson would pick up his food and sit it in front of him and tell him where everything was and then go get her tray. They were amazing.

In front of us are the Beutlers. They are doing pretty much the same thing as we are in the mission field. Except I believe that they are the only ones in the office, so it is safe to say they are doing a lot more than we will be doing. I don't know how.

Sister Hugentobler is next to me and then Sister Cosman. We loved these two Sisters. Both widows and such testimonies.

Next are the McBrides and they are going to Kenya, Nairobi. They have been to Hawaii and loved it. Boy, are they in for some surprises.

Next are the Andrus's and they are also going to Africa. To Uganda.

And the last couple on the right are Elder and Sister Saunders. They too are Africa bound. To Ghana.

All wonderful people who love the Lord and want to serve. We were all together in our training on computers and some more frustrated than others, but all willing to serve. Oh, the experiences we will be about to share in 18-24 months.

Trip out.
