Last Saturday, July 13th, we met the new Mission President, Joseph Benson, Sister Benson and their four children. This is a picture of all the missionaries serving in the Darkhan District most are three hours away from here. We had lunch and then President Benson introduced himself and his family. He speaks fluent Mongolian and his wife speaks it fairly well. They both served their mission here, but not during the same time period. He will be a great asset to the mission with his experience and language. They were totally surprised by their mission call. An Area President recommended them and a call was issued. He is a lawyer for a firm in San Diego who was working in Beijing and most recently in Singapore. He is fluent in Mandarin Chinese as well.
This couple are the first Senior Couple to serve a mission from Mongolia. They were called to serve in the Selenge Branch near the Russian border. We set him apart as Branch President a couple of weeks ago. They have been members about 10 years and had their first temple experience in March at the Hong Kong Temple.
