February 13-24 Elder M
Russell Ballard came to the South America South Area. He stopping first in Chile and then Argentina.
He came with his wife and two daughters and Elder Rasband and his

secretaries planning their visit, especially the Mission Presidents seminar,
Elder Ballard’s dedication of Argentina and we helped on just about everything
else.

We spent two days with
Elder Ballard in Santiago Chile during the mission president’s seminar. Tuesday Feb 18 we received the mission
presidents at the Language Training center in Santiago Chile and enjoyed a
temple session with all of them.

Wednesday Feb 19 was an intense
day of training by Elders Ballard, Rasband, Gonzalez, Zeballos and Vinas. The theme was "Hastening the Work" D&C 88:73.
Elder Ballard said that sometimes he thinks Satan laughs when we say we must organize ourselves to move the work of salvation forward because it means we usually have a lot of meetings with no one responsible to do anything. So he gave the mission presidents this challenge:
