What do you do on a Friday evening during a lock down?? YOU MAKE TACOS!!! We had a great evening with the Bendixsens with some delicious food and then we watched the movie, Ben Hur, a first for them. It was so fun.
Our missionaries in both missions are still in their apartments here in the Abidjan area, staying inside. One of our apartments has 20 missionaries in it. These are challenging times. Every day we check the news and reports from members in the different areas to get a feel for the pulse out there. There are demonstrations happening here and there, some are dangerous. We are keeping our missionaries safe, but they are getting a little stir crazy. We’ve also spent way more time in our apartment this week, going to the office only when really necessary. Tonight was a nice distraction from the world around us.

So glad you are taking such good care of President and Sister Bendixsen. The are special people to my wife and I. He served as my 1st counselor many years ago in Hermiston Oregon. If my memory is correct, I think you served as mission president of the Yakima Washington Mission. I joined the church in 1963 in Toppenish Ward, Yakima Stake. So good to see the mission grown in that area of the vineyard.
