Twelfth Summary for ourselves, working under President Rodriguez

We spent a lot more time in the Mission Office doing the normal paperwork, errands and duties of Housing Coordinators (with Jenny more apartment supplies than you can imagine)

We attended the ECR ward party on 7/4 at Mandalay Beach (Oxnard) and were thrilled to see several of our recent converts getting fully integrated into the ward (Abraham, Rogelio & Otilia; whole Chavez family)

We made backup copies of several apartments' keys at La Gloria in downtown Oxnard

The absolute highlight of this period was taking Everardo Corral to the LA Temple to receive his endowment and make higher covenants with our good Lord (7/8).  we also took Daniela Ramirez with us—soon to depart on her mission to Mexico.

We attended the following farewell dinners for usSotos, Bp Terrys, Tenorios, ECR Ward surprise party, Zurchers and the Camarillo grupito, Chavez family, APs (E. Isaacson/Larsen) and Pte/Sis Rodriguez at the Mission Home

We gave 3 farewell talks (in Spanish) in 3 different Sacrament meetings in the same day (ECR, Camarillo, ECR late mtg)--think re Jenny's growth in the Spanish language!  We also think that's a Weatherford family record6 talks in a single day in a foreign language.

We renewed 2 missionary apartment leases and called a dozen other apt. managers to get new leases sent our way.

I paid August rents for 77 apartments with Elder Haslam

We made one big, last trip up "north" to inspect empty apartments, drop off bikes, bring back furniture from the Miller's old place in Grover beach, visit the troublesome 'leaky stove' apartment, etc. Stops included Ventura, Lompoc, Sta Maria, SLO, Atascadero, Sta Barbara and Grover Beach.

We helped Elder/Sis Miller move out of their Grover Beach duplex as they concluded their 18-month CES mission, bringing a bunch of stuff back in the bed of our F150 mission truck.  we also attended their last Institue class at Cal Poly in SLO.

I translated the High Councilor's talk (like i do most months) in the Camarillo grupo.

We spent 3 days with Sister Peterson turning over Housing Coordinator duties

Lastly, we did new missionary training with Hna. Asdot who was reassigned from Chile.

A very busy, yet meaningful couple of weeks!
