Well, here is the Ridger in Guatemala at last! Above is his district in the CCM (the Guatemala Missionary Training Center).
They got to go to the temple each week and he loved it! They attended English-speaking sessions because, as President Christensen said, they were there to feel the Spirit, not to learn the language.
Elder Davis was Ridge's companion in Provo, and again in the CCM in Guatemala. Elder Davis was ALWAYS studying, and Ridge so appreciated the good example.
Ridge with President and Sister Christensen. And now. . .drum roll, please:
Here is Ridge with his first trainer/companion out in the honest-to-goodness mission field. Elder Hall is from Portland, Oregon. His family has been in touch with us, and I've been able to see pictures on their blog that give me a much better idea of where Ridge is living and how everything looks. It's GREAT!! Thanks, Hall Family!
Ridge's first day in Chiquimulilla found him taking care of Elder Hall, who had eaten some nasty snails and gotten really sick. Ooohhhh. . .No Snails, Ridge - No Snails!!
Our missionary is so excited and loves meeting and talking to people. We're so happy for him!
