We are loosing President y Hermana Galvez

     We just found out that our Second Counselor in our Temple Presidency and his wife have received a new assignment.  President y Hermana Galvez are to be the new Temple President y matron of the Quetzaltenango Temple or the Xela Temple (pronounced shayla).  We are very excited for them and the people in Xela, but very sad that we will be loosing them.  They are so humble and wonderful to serve with.

        Sister Galvez's sister also serves here with us.  Sister Cordon is one of our single sisters.  The Galvez's will leave when we have our next two week break the first of July.  Our first counselor, President and Hermana Harris leave in 3 weeks so we are in need of two new counselors.  It will be fun to see who is called to these positions.  There is one thing that we have learned about life, there is always changes so don't get too comfortable with the way things are cause they will change soon.  Love to all Los Thompsons
