Mission Adventures: Mike and Debbie: Had to Say GoodBye to a Nurturing Friend

It was a sad day to say good-bye to this friend today.

I fed and nurtured her for two years
and she in return has fed many.

Concilio was canceled due to another bus strike. The temple group has been on vacation for 2 weeks while the temple was closed. It was a great opportunity to go see the "red cathedral" that we have always wanted to see. Unfortunately, the inside was not open. We also went to the Uruguay Legislation Palace. What great architecture. They don't make things like the used to!

Red Cathedral

Elder Hokanson served here in Deseret, so we brought him to visit the chapel.

This is a document signed by everyone who attended
the dedication of this first chapel in Uruguay.

David O McKay's signature is the first signature at the very top.

Semana de cambio Change Week

Tuesday - Thursday December 1-3, 2015

Our last change week. We are the Valientes, but we are not going home with the others. We will go home after the Christmas devotional. My feelings are so jumbled.
We had very small groups coming and going. Mary, our head cook was not available this week to help, but it worked out fine because we only had 6 new elders come in. Only 4 elders were leaving, so President Cook made it easy on us and instead of cooking our own valiente dinner, he took us out to a restaurant. No cooking! No dishes! Muy facil! Also, becaause we are bringing all the missionaries in by bus for the the Christmas devotional, they decided not to hire the private buses for change week. The missionaries just took a bus to Tres Cruces (the main bus terminal) and took another bus out to their new area. That made for a pretty quiet change week and less photos. And of course as we have been saying, this was our last change week.
