We worked in the
mission office today. Mike consulted
with the office missionaries to get a feel from them where they need help. We also worked on our next steps for every
family we are working with.
Our laptops will be
our computers we use at the office but our batteries do not last long enough
for a full day. We took a bus to
Portones Shopping Center to find a power converter. Another new discovery we made today was that
all bus stops are not created equal. Our
bus was D10. After waiting about 15 minutes, the first one just passed by
without even looking at the wave of Mike’s hand. The second one was stopped at
the signal and Mike flagged the bus, but the driver just shook his finger at
us.
Hmm? We noticed one more bus stop further down the
road so we walked there and did see some faded signs that stated this was D10
along with 6 other signs for different routes. We waited another 15 minutes for
the next bus. Lesson learned.
We decided to eat
our first McDonald’s meal. I have to say
it was yummy. Mike got the French fries which he said were great. I got the
salad trying to be the healthy eater.
The salad was fresh with good lettuce and fresh tomatoes but my only
choice for salad dressing was olive oil and white vinegar which came in
separate packages. So I think next time
I will get the fries.
We found our transformer, but wanted to find the DVD for
Disney’s Cars. We went to every store we
could find, but no one had it. The DVD
selection wasn’t great to begin with.
So, keep your eyes open for the DVD in Spanish. Message me with
facetime, or facebook, or email if you do find it. If we haven’t found it by then, we will have
you buy it and send it to us with our next care package.
We caught a taxi back to the office and Elder
Pugmire was there, so he gave us a ride back to our apartment. Mike had a charla tonight with the
Elders. They were a bit nervous about
this one, because the lady had been given some negative and incorrect information about the church. When Mike came home, he said it was a great
lesson. The Spirit was there and he was
able to answer all her questions and share his testimony. This lady was the mother of a 17 year old
boy that is supposed to get baptized tomorrow.
Her signature is required for this.
The boy is anxious to get baptized and wants to prepare for a
mission. We will find out tomorrow, if
the mother will allow his baptism.
Wow. Transportation down there sounds...frustrating. =/
