Primary children of the Samborondón Ecuador Stake got a taste of missionary life during a recent mini missionary training center activity in Guayaquil, Ecuador.
“The idea arose from a desire to help children have a firsthand experience of missionary life, with the purpose of planting in their hearts the desire to serve missions when they are old enough,” said Cristina Elizabeth Guaminga, first counselor in the stake Primary presidency.
Heavy rains that Feb. 21 morning threatened to flood the local meetinghouse and made roads difficult to travel. Samborondón Ecuador Stake President Edward Zambrano said he arrived at 6:30 a.m. to begin sweeping water out of the building. More Latter-day Saints arrived around 7:30 a.m. to help unclog gutters and drains.
