After most of the other senior missionaries left for their assignments, others stayed behind for further training in PEF, humanitarian and other disciplines. There were seven of us in total going to various parts of the world to work in the Self-Reliance\PEF programs - the Call´s to Tahiti, the Livingston´s to Chile, and Hermana Siddoway to Paraguay. We were picked up each day by a big red van and taken to the COB in Salt Lake (that is church lingo for the Church Office Building). On Sunday, the 10th, we went to church in a district at the MTC and spent most of the afternoon in training, as well as all day Monday and part of Tuesday. We ate lunch on Monday in the basement of the COB - what a spread! On Tuesday we had a Thanksgiving dinner prepared for us, as the seven of us would not be seeing that holiday in the U.S. Very thoughtful! The training in general was very exciting, with many new changes in how the Church deals with helping its members enhance their ability to support their families. The changes will occur internationally on January 1, so we are to serve right in the middle of the transition.
