PARABLE OF THE TALENTS

One of the laws of heaven is that your talents expand as you take new experiences that are given to you. We knew that we would face many challenges where we would need to stretch our skills and learn new ones. Little did we know that those skills and talents would include:

AUTO BODY REPAIRS

Last week one of the office missionaries had a "fender bender" with another vehicle. It ripped off the side paneling of the car that we drive. The molding was intact...so we knew that it could be repaired. This week all the shops are closed due to Semana Santa (Holy Week). No problem, except that next week we are having a visiting authority here and President Gomez wanted all the cars in tip-top shape. So today Elder Tomkinson expanded his talents and became the resident auto body repair expert.

The project before expanding talents

Getting ready to work

I have to admit that I am mighty impressed with the finished project. In fact, I don't know if the molding will EVER come off. At least we know that we won't lose it driving down the road.

Half way done
