Memories: A member asking Elder Davis (?) about how to ordain someone to the office of Prospective Elder. Elder Wallengreen's letter to his mom about the 'great flood' in Panama (not only the Missionary Committee heard about it but also President Eager). When momentarily left behind on a paseo to see the Playas de Coco, I quoted Martin Harris, "I didn't leave the Church; the Church left me." It was a privilege to serve with you and see the growth of the Church since in those countries.
