Here We Go Again...

This weekend we packed up and moved from Succotz back to Belize City where we started two years ago. We'll be spending the last week of our mission in Belize City as we make final preparations and assist with the multi-zone conference.   

Before we left Succotz, we were able to teach the first lessons of the temple preparation seminar to the wonderful Morales family of Benque Viejo.

We had our last district council meeting with the Belmopan district.  The missionaries in Dangriga joined us via Google hangout.

We've enjoyed visiting with many of our Belizean brothers and sisters in the Cayo district whom we have grown to love and admire for their faith and perseverance.  These are just a few of the pictures we were able to snap as we said our last goodbyes. In Bullet Tree Falls, Francisca Landero holds her grandson while her daughter Adia Tackitt looks on.

We've been following with interest President Russell M. Nelson's Pacific Ministry tour throughout the Pacific islands this past week.  This video describes his wonderful experience with the people of Fiji.

President Nelson's final stop on his tour was to Papeete, Tahiti, where Elder Magnusson's father served as a young missionary 73 years ago.

The Church's Newsroom reported of the young Tahitian performers having fun at the anniversary celebration of the Church’s first missionaries arriving in the Tahitian islands 175 years go.

Following the cultural celebration, President Nelson addressed 10,000 Tahitian Latter-day Saints in a devotional at the Pater Stadium in Papeete, Tahiti.  The devotional was also broadcast to congregations across Tahiti.

This video describes President Nelson's experience in Tahiti.
