We sent another group of missionaries home this past week. It is getting harder each time. I guess it is because we know the missionaries more now. The sisters seem to have a harder time returning home than the Elders. Sister Cueto was an outstanding sister. She is from Lima, Peru. She is the only member in her family. She was helping me in the kitchen, when she told me how it was that she spoke such good English. Her great grandparents were slaves in Pennsylvania. They bought their freedom and moved to Peru. They never learned English. English was the spoken language in their home and the homes of their children, and so on. Sister Cueto said her mother had always spoken English to her in their home. She said she now felt she knew how to talk to her family about the gospel. We wish her well.
