President Lovell and I just got home after being gone for a week. We have been with the missionaries throughout much of the mission for Zone Conferences. It has been wonderful to be with these great missionaries!
We are excited to share some news with you! On Wednesday evening President Lovell
received an e-mail telling us about the new Argentina Comodoro Rivadavia
Mission that will be formed starting July 1, 2013! The Argentina Neuquén Mission will be divided! We knew that it was a possibility that this
could happen but we had not heard anything for certain about it until this last
Wednesday evening.
We were instructed to let the missionaries know before tomorrow when the Church News would come out. The Assistants called the Zone Leaders last night and they called all the missionaries this morning to let them know. We were with the Zapala Zone today for Zone Conference so we were able to share it with them ourselves! Can I just tell you...we have wonderful missionaries! They had a few questions but they were excited!
Here are the details that we know:
The new mission president will be
Mark F. Rogers.
Argentina Comodoro Rivadavia Mission
will include the following:
Rio Gallegos Argentina District
Rio Grande Argentina District
Ushuaia Argentina District
Caleta Olivia Argentina District
Comodoro Rivadavia
Argentina Stake
Trelew Argentina
North Stake
Trelew Argentina
South Stake
Argentina Neuquén Mission will
include the following:
Bariloche Argentina Stake
Esquel Argentina district
General Roca Argentina Stake
Neuquén Argentina Stake
Neuquén Argentina West Stake
Zapala Argentina
Stake
Two independent Branches ( 25 de Mayo and Catriel)
Here is a copy of the mission map as it stands right now so you can see better where everything is.
The Rio Gallegos Argentina District, the Rio Grande Argentina District, and the Ushuaia Argentina District are all further south than this map shows. They were previously in the Buenos Aires North Mission and will now be part of the Argentina Comodoro Rivadavia Mission.
Thanks so much for sharing this information. What an exciting time for all these missionaries!

Wow! exciting news. The Tsunami of missionaries is beginning to descend on the MTC and is spreading to all the world! Hopefully visas can keep up!
ReplyDeleteSister Lovell,
ReplyDeleteI ordered a warm coat with a zip out liner, but since the mission has been split I was wondering if I will need that warm of a coat? Do you have any suggestions?

You will love having that coat in either mission. It gets very cold in the winter in parts of both mission. We have every kind of weather in both missions so the zip out lining will be great!
