Almost a year ago we received the mission call to go to Lima Peru East to work as Family History Records Preservation missionaries to film digitally National Archives of Peru. After several months we were told that we would be going to Huancayo, Peru. We were fortunate to meet by email, then phone and Skype some new friends who were there in Peru in records preservation. We waaaaaaited and waaaaaited for visas to go through as we were delayed from January to March to April to May to later May to July 1. Now, instead of going to the Andes, we are going to the Dominican Republic! They also have records to be preserved and they are easier for visas. Another couple went home and now we will be there in their place.
First, of course, we still have training in Utah, part of which will teach us how to use these cameras! Since they also speak Spanish--albeit much faster--in the DR, we will have to ramp up the level of comprehension!
I have appreciated the records that have been gathered that have helped me to do my research, so I hope we can help others!
Here is a picture of the temple in Santo Domingo, the capital of la Republica Dominicana. Also note the beautiful sky and the tall buildings in the back. SD is a city of over two million! That would be a few more than our Wichita!
The title of this blog stems from the info received that we will be helping souls--both those who are waiting in heaven and those who are still on earth and on days when we are not at the office, we can go to the beach! We can swim, snorkel, enjoy the beauty! We have been repacking our bags to take out the clothes more suited to chilly times in the Andes and put in some swimsuits and lighter clothes.
More to come! I don't promise how often, you notice!
