Sisters!!!

This week we had an End of Summer barbecue at the Battalion.  Some Sisters were on shift and still had tours to give, but they came in as they could and had some dinner.  All of the senior couples brought the food.  Craig grilled hamburgers and hot dogs.  MMMMmm  Sister Romero is leaving for home on Tuesday and so there was a little program for her, too.  It was a fun evening.

We think the Sisters are the very best part of our Mission.  They are all different and they are all wonderful.  We thought you might like to see them at work around the Battalion.

They stand outside and wave and tell people what we do at the Mormon Battalion Historic Site.

Of course, they give the tours.

They take souvenir pictures of our guests.

They show people how to pan for gold.

This picture is the picture on the Mormon Battalion Facebook page.  Go and like us here!

Sometimes after the last tour of the evening, the Sisters who are done with their tours study and read scriptures.

They input information on the computers.

 

They chat with each other during their meal breaks.

They always have fun.

I have a screen of everything the security cameras see.  I was looking at all of the feeds one day and saw two Sisters waving right at the camera.  I hurried and got out my camera and got these blurry pictures of the screen.  (Sorry!  I was in a hurry!)  The Sisters then began to dance!  How cute is this?

Then I could tell the instant their guests came down the stairs from the tower where they were looking out over Old Town.  I laughed and laughed.  They made my day.

Yesterday, Elder Cecil O Samuelson of the First Quorum of the Seventy came through on a tour just as we came on shift.  Craig and I both wish we had seen him!  You may not know that my dear nephew was involved in selling these tee shirts and they gave one to President Samuelson when he was president of BYU.

Today you get to meet sweet Sister Huang from Taiwan.  She speaks Japanese, English, Tagalog, Mandarin and wishes she knew Spanish.  She lived in the Philippines for 2 years.

She is the first missionary in her family and she is sassy!  She loves to eat, watch movies (when she is not on a mission) and go on tours.  She could be a professional at hiding and scaring people.  She is a good missionary and makes me laugh.  One Sister described her as a firecracker!  That is a perfect description.
