Welcome Lance and Margie Willis and changing of the guard at the La Moneda

So here we are 21st of January and our new couple Lance and Margie Willis have arrived. They are from Mesa, Arizona and as it turns out we lived in their ward a short time in 1976. Margie was very good friends with Millie's sister Pat in Mesa as they lived in the Mesa 8th ward. Such a small world. We are excited to have them. She was a temple worker in Mesa, Arizona temple and knows Spanish for the temple. He was just released as a Bishop in a Singles ward. He has been a mission president in the Ecuador Guayaquill South mission. He replaced one of Philip's mission presidents. He has not been a temple worker but will learn quickly as his Spanish is excellent and he is quite personable.
