Peruvian Regional Stake Conference

Today was a Satellite broadcast from Salt Lake City to all the stakes in Peru. Pres Uchtdorf , elder Jeffery Holland, sister Allred, 1st counselor in General RS presidency and elder Grow of the 70 spoke to us. We went to the MTC to watch and listen as it was in English in one of the rooms. The American missionaries watched it with us.

While at the MTC we had our pictures taken with Elder Smith from Monrovia, Ca and Elder Welch from Farmington, Ut that will be entering our mission on next change.

Pres. and sister Tyler with elder Smith and Welch. Elder Welch is grandson of Wanee and Tom Welch from the Bountiful 36th ward and son of Terry Welch that I know.

Something that I didn't know, behind the MTC is this full soccer field with artifical turf that the MTC missionaries have full access to. The church owns all this property. Next to the MTC and the soccer field and on the other side of the wall is the La Molina ward.

An interesting part of the conference was both Elder Holland and Pres. Uchtdorf said that in the future there will be several temples in Peru. The conference was broadcast to the 90 stakes and 15 branches in Peru. Elder Grow and sister Allred spoke in Spanish and it was translated into English for our meeting and Holland spoke half in Spanish and then switched to English and Pres. Uchtdorf spoke in English but German would have been easier.
After the meeting we ate lunch at the MTC with the missionaries. Then we rode back home with the Tylers.
