Ned & Mary Argentina

  New Mission Leaders President & Sister Dorado, our new mission leaders, have begun their service in the Argentina Mendoza Mission. They are originally from Colombia but have been living in Canada for something like 30 years. We welcome them and look forward to serving with them. On their left are President and Sister Ingersoll who just finished their mission. They have served very faithfully and we have been blessed by our association with them. On their right are the two assistants, Elders Ortiz and Valdiviezo. They are delightful young men and we enjoy our association with them.

 Copa Mundial (Soccer World Cup) - June 2026 It is fun to be living in a country very passionate about soccer during the World Cup tournament. This photo was taken at a Young Men's activity in which they celebrated the Copa Mundial in support of their national team.  (The branch president, Pres. Maciel, is to my right.)  As you can see, they are wearing jerseys with the #10. I have turned mine around to show the name.  Lionel Messi is considered by most as the best in the world, and perhaps, the best of all time.

  Another Baptism Opportunity - June 7, 2026 We have taken this sister and several family members to church for some time. That is probably why she asked that I baptize her. I was happy to do it and I was glad to see how happy she was afterwards.

My Mom - Nancy Curtis Lunt This coming Thursday will mark 90 years since my mother was born. The next day will mark 30 years since she passed away. To this day, I still express gratitude in prayer for being born to the parents I was and I pray that I can be true to the faith that my parents have cherished. (Hymn #254). I am very grateful to have been born in the covenant with the promise I will be with her through eternity if I live worthily.

  An Opportunity to Serve - June 2026 The Elders serving in our branch (Elders Smith and Elder Manookin) offered me the opportunity to baptize 9-year-old Bautista and his 8-year-old sister, Victoria. Their mother is a memer but has been less active for many years. I'm grateful that she was prompted to return and to seek this saving ordinance for her children.We have enjoyed taking their family to church as they live some distance south of the city and branch building.

  New Granddaughter - May 31, 2026 One of the sacrifices of serving a senior mission is missing out on special occasions. Meet Paulette Elizabeth Lunt - daughter of Seth (our youngest) and Alli. We are very grateful that she arrived safely and well. We look forward to being with her in 11 months.
