The night after our arrival home from Douala we had all the couples over for a welcome dinner for the Gates. We had met them at the airport the day after we got home from Johannesburg and then we left for Douala the next morning. Our wonderful couples took care of them while we were gone- feeding them, taking them shopping, loaning them phones, etc. They are another example of the unselfish and unbelievable service of senior couples. They were serving a first mission in the DR Congo Kinshasa mission as an MLS couple in Pointe Noire, Republic of Congo when we first arrived. They returned in home in December of 2011 and now they're back in Kinshasa to serve in the Construction program. We're grateful to have them with us again. Their love of the young people and enthusiasm, along with their personal skills, will be a great blessing to our mission.
