The latest news: My hero, President Evrett Benton, had his car stolen one week ago today, by 3 men who were posing as policemen, and pulled guns on him. He was "kidnapped " by these men and driven around for 45 minutes in their car, while they "hid" our car, and disabled the car´s security system.
We´re all very happy that Evrett is OK, and we are thankful to the Church for giving us huge amounts of support on all levels during this trial in our lives. We´re "up and running" again, and hardly "missed a beat" in our work due to the excellent, efficient, loving support of the Church Organization in our area. Thanks you sooooo much President Bowen and staff!
We´re also deeply grateful to all our friends and loved ones. Your love and prayers continue to be a centerpiece of our strength here in Argentina. As President Hinckley once said, simply, "Prayer works!" We so much appreciate your continued prayers, and we all know how very important love is in our lives, especially in OUR lives right now.
Yesterday was Evrett´s birthday, and I posted a photo of him blowing out candles on his two large "Texas Fudge Cakes" at a zone conference. My birthday was September 11, and the sweet office missionaries gave me a surprise "heart attack" on a wall in the Mission Home. They wrote some thoughtful notes on some of the hearts too. I´m campaigning for the hearts to stay up on the wall for at least another year. The top photo is of President and Sister Bowen singing "Happy Birthday" to me on my birthday. They are sweethearts.

Finally our son got on her blog. haha. He is the Elder on the right in President Bentons birthday picture. Sean also helped with the hearts. I also got a kick out of reading Hermana Jensen's email this week when she mentions Elder Gilmore..... Glad she is happy out in campo!
