Sunday we spent the day with a Seventy, Elder Sitati and his wife, from  Kenya. He spoke to us for three hours.  What a wise man.

Monday, we went to the Church Office Building.

Went through amazing security procedures and up to the third floor.

 We spent the whole day there with different speakers that work with the  PEF/Self-Reliance Program.  This program is administered directly under by the First Presidency.  I'm sure the staff working on this new form of the program spent many hours on their knees and going back to the drawing board many times until the First Presidency would say, yes, that's what the Lord has in mind.

I know these men have been inspired by the Lord.

We could feel the spirit of the Lord as they taught us the program and our responsibilities to go out and help the people lift themselves out of poverty and into spiritual and temporal self-reliance.

We are so excited to go and service the Lord in this capacity.

They are hurting for Senior Couples to say yes to go these international parts of the world that need our help.  Many couples say no, for whatever reason. I am not judging them.  You need to be in good health and adventuresome to do this. They would love for you to volunteer.

 Our extensive travel has prepared us for this.  We love people everywhere and their cultures.

We now have 5 days to finish packing and then we fly out on the 10th of February.
