June -- Presidente Obeso is our new mission president. We really enjoyed President and Hermana Rappleye and were sad to see them leave. But Presidente Obeso and Hermana Obeso are wonderful, humble people and will do a lot of the mission and the missionaries. I will have to learn more Spanish because he and his wife are from Mexico and speak Espanol as their primary language. He speaks English a little so he understands my Spanglish.
June 30, 2014 All the senior missionaries were called to Osorno this evening to meet the new mission president and his wife. President Obeso talked with us about plans he has for the mission. They are happy to be here. Both President Obeso and his wife are former Mexican missionaries. The president wants to be active and visit the mission. He acknowledges that there are problems in Chile, lack of priesthood and divorce. Basic precepts to teach investigators are prayer, attendance at meeting, and reading the Book of Mormon. He is a good man and we are happy to serve under him.
July 16, 2014 Elder Stott and I has a very nice meeting with President Obeso today. He wants us to become involved more with family history throughout the mission. This is already our assignment in La Union so we are to find out where family history is not functioning in the stakes and districts in the mission and help to get it started again. He wants Elder Stott to emphasize the marriage assistance program. This is a new program to help investigators get simple divorces so they can be baptized. Brother Salas, a lawyer in Valdivia, wants to get this going as a service by lawyer members of the church to help investigators become eligible for baptism. Great program with lots of potential.
