Retired, I don't think so!!!

So as some of you know my parents are serving a mission in Mozambique Africa.  But, most of you don't know what they are doing exactly.  As I see it, they might be "retired" from the Air Force, but not from work.  I love and respect them so much for serving their mission so faithfully.  No one could be more proud. Here is what they sent a few weeks ago, just a little summary of the "marvelous work and wonder" they do for the African people.     
    "We only have a little over 4 months left. Gee, how time flies! We must be having fun! Actually, it’s that we usually keep quite busy. Of course there are free moments—and they’re very much appreciated—but, we have a big variety of things to keep us occupied. We support 42 missionaries, in the Beira and Manga zones and far-away cities like Tete (8 hours), Marromeu (10 hours), and Nampula (a 1 hour flight); oversee the seminary and institute programs in all of Mozambique; assist and train the district presidency and auxiliary leaders; evaluate and train all leaders in the six Beira and four distant branches; handle all the financial and administrative duties for the mission in Beira; oversee chapel and elders apartments and ensure they get proper care and maintenance; serve as 1st Counselor to the Mission President and help him with whatever he needs; train our new missionary couple; etc"  
     Thanks mom and dad.  We love you!!!
