Missionary snapshots

July 25, 2009 by Sue 1 Comment

These are some pictures of Mark from January.  He plays piano alot on his mission and he’s seen here rehearsing a special number for Sacrament Meeting.  He accompanied a sister who sang.  He is also signing a missionary shirt on the wall of Chris Madrid’s, a popular hangout in San Antone.  The karaoke singing took place at a member’s home on his 20th birthday.

Missionary Chores

Evidently when you show up for church on Sunday planning to have a baptism afterwards and discover that the font is totally blocked up, and therefore, gross, you get busy, unstop it and clean it out.  This happened to Mark and his companion, Elder Solano, yesterday and we received the picture in the email today.

Mark hits 6 months

November 8, 2008 by Scott 2 Comments

mark-bayouMark hit his 6 month mark (no pun intended) yesterday (November 7) on his mission.  Already a quarter of his mission is over.  In his first 6 months, he has been in two areas, Del Rio, Texas, and now the southwest part of San Antonio. He is doing great and enjoying his work.

 

 

We just got pictures from Mark.  There is a tradition of burning a tie when a missionary gets to 6 months.  So here is his tie burning!
