THOUGHT: "TWO ROADS DIVERGED IN A WOOD AND I.... I TOOK THE ONE LESS TRAVELED BY, AND THAT HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE! " Robert Frost
Can you believe it? I made it 3 months on the mission! On the 22nd it will be 3 months in Mexico and I haven't been sick once yet!
We got up early and helped Sister Greer pack up all the food and supplies she took to the church for the zone leader conference. This mission press and wife go all out on taking care of their missionaries. Sister Greer had Costco muffins, yogurt drinks first thing at the meeting. Then at 10 am they got the rest of the muffins and a big cup of fruit. Then I went with Sis Greer to pick up 17 pizzas at Little Cesears pizza. That is a lot of pizza! The missionaries gobbled that up, with a huge salad (they don't get fresh salad or fruit very often) and yummy homemade brownies. We stayed until 2:30 and then hopped in the car and drove 4 1/2 hours home! I drove all the way. We tried to another way back into the city. We found out later that we went through a dangerous area where kidnapping has been popular! We made it home -FINALLY! It was a long day!

| You can always tell where the mission home is by the 8 pizza boxes waiting for garbage pickup! |
You be careful where you drive. I can't be worrying about you guys. That is some swanky digs for the mission president.
ReplyDeleteKara Henderson's homecoming today. Tiffany Bracken is engaged. It is amazing that you have been out 3 months but it seems forever since I had a hug. Still sunny and beautiful. The storm Saturday was a fluke. I love your pictures but take some of you guys. Have you had the opportunity to do any nursing or do just geyvto drive :-). They haven't released Brian or Katie yet. They don't leave til June are you eating good Mexican yet. Any cat or lizard, or other gross stuff. All is well at home, you just behave yourself and don't get stopped by the Mexican posse
