Hello!
Last Saturday, we got to go and help out at a "marathon." It was only
like three miles. But it was a big church activity with all the stakes
from our mission within Tegucigalpa. We got to hand out water to the
runners and pick up garbage and stuff, so it was like a little service
activity.
For
like the last week and a half, we have had some really bad air
quality. I think there have been some fires in the forests nearby and
the sky has been hazy-white for a really long time.
We
had transfers in the mission this week. I get to stay in the office
for another transfer, but my comp and Elder Bingham are leaving. They
both get to stay this week in the office to train the new secretaries.
Elder Dunn, my new companion, came on Monday. He is from Arizona and is
really cool, a good teacher. This should be a really good transfer.
Elder Storrs (We were in the MTC at the same time) is also a new
secretary in the office.
The new missionaries were supposed to come on Monday morning at 8:00am but their flight got cancelled. They ended up getting here on a different flight at around 6:00pm.
So that kind of threw out all the plans to have to new missionary
meetings that day. haha. The new elders ended up staying at our house.
Then on Wednesday we had to go drop off missionaries at the airport and
the travel agent for the church always like to schedule the flights for 6:20am...so we had to get up pretty early.
I
was not impressed with immigration this week. When one of the new
missionaries came on Monday, they did NOT stamp her passport...We did
not have physical proof that she entered this country legally. She was
on the system on the computer, but we had to go back to immigration so
she could get her stamp. We would not be able to start her residency
process without it. And so we sat around for a few hours waiting for
people to get off their lunch breaks and get us a stamp. That was fun.
Robelio
has been progressing really fast, if everything goes well and if he
doesn't have to go out of town, he should get baptized this weekend!
This
week was super busy and I am trying to remember all that happened, but I
think that this is all I am going to write for now.
Adios!
