Mission Picture

This is our mission picture, the one that was sent in with our mission application. It was taken by our daughter in law, Allison Able Weaver. As a senior missionary, you can request the type of mission that you want to serve. All we said was that we wanted to go where we could do some good. To our great surprise, we were assigned to a welfare office in Kathmandu, Nepal.

In preparation for our mission we have taken numerous vaccinations. We have taken training in how to teach blind people to use computers. We are learning the Nepali language with the help of a language coach from the Missionary Training Center. We have received some instruction on selecting and fitting wheel chairs for the disabled. We have also done a lot of stuff to get our estate and bank accounts in order. We needed all of the three months we were given to prepare.

We will go to the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah on November 30th. Following 10 days of training we will depart for Nepal on or about December 15th. Although we will miss our friends and family, we hope to do much good.
