Bonifaz Bon Voyage

On Monday September 5, 2016, Elder David Andres Bonifaz Meno departed the SAJM with his family and headed back to Madrid, Spain. He is leaving off the transfer cycle due to school schedules. His wonderful parents (who do not speak any English) arrived a few days ago to pick him up. They have been traveling to members and recent converts before they leave today.  They brought us some very meaningful gifts. President Dunn has always loved the book Cervantes and the Man of La Mancha play and story. Without knowing that, they gave him a Don Quixote statue. We all were touched by the coincidences....that didn't feel like coincidences!

We were honored to host the Bonifaz family for a lunch on the day they departed back to Spain. These are the special moments on a mission that I will forever hold in my memory. we loved having Elder Bonifaz translate over lunch and come to know this great family. 
When Elder Bonifaz was dropped off at the mission home we were able to host a dinner with the zone leaders, of which we had been one. Elder Adams and Elder Nelson joined with us. We also had Elder Dean and Elder Dube join with us.


We served a traditional South African dish, Bobotie with chutney, coconut and bananas. This meal is complete with a little tumeric rice and of course malva pudding.
Elder Bonifaz has such dear, dear parents. We absolutely LOVED meeting them and feeling of their great spirit and love for their son.
Always hard to actually say goodbye and see the car drive away!
Until we meet again!!

  2. I am Doris used every single spell worker on the internet, spent untold amounts of money and discovered they are all fakes...i was the fool though; doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. In the end, I decided that I wanted a tarot reading to know what my future held for me; I contacted a woman who lives locally to me and she told me about a man named (Priests Abija); he does not advertise on the internet, has another job for income, has no set prices, makes no false promises and refuses to help anyone that cannot be helped and even helps for free sometimes, he will give you proof before taking money. He is a wonderful man and he was the only person who actually gave me real results. I really hope he doesn't mind me advertising his contact on the internet but I'm sure any help/ extra work will benefit him.contact him here as (518) 303-6207 or dr.abalaka@outlook.com He travel sometimes.i cant give out his number cos he told me he don’t want to be disturbed by many people across the world..he said his email is okay and he’ will replied to any emails asap,love marriage,finance, job promotion ,lottery Voodoo,poker voodoo,golf Voodoo,Law & Court case Spells,money voodoo,weigh loss voodoo,any sicknesses voodoo,Trouble in marriage,HIV AIDS,it's all he does Hope this helps everyone that is in a desperate situation as I once was; I know how it feels to hold onto something and never have a chance to move on because of the false promises and then to feel trapped in wanting something
    more.
