One of our “diligencia’s” (errands) today was a stop at the Temple. Hna. Johnson drops off the “Ropa” (clothing) list for the Elders and Sisters that will be attending the Temple with Pres. & Hna. Almonte on Friday morning. Almost every Friday the President & Hna Almonte takes a different Zone to the Temple. To help out the temple staff with the task of selecting the right sizes of clothing, Hna. Johnson prepares a list in advance to give the clothing desk. This practice of taking a different Zone each Friday is great. And it doesn’t matter how far out in “El Campo” the Zones are; all of the missionaries get to attend the Temple at least 4 times a year. We are truly blessed to have a temple within the boundaries of our mission. The spirit it brings to the Temple patron, missionary or not, is very sweet and precious. The missionaries really look forward to their turn to attend with the Almonte’s.
President and Hna. Almonte are sure hard working and dedicated servants of the Lord. They do a wonderful job of seeing after the spiritual & physical welfare of their missionaries. At least once between transfers (every 6 weeks) Pres. Almonte has a personal, in-depth interview with every missionary in the whole mission. During the interviews Hna. Almonte does a physical checkup on the missionaries. She records a brief health evaluation including blood pressure, weight, etc.
