Hometeaching Friends - Tuesday, November 2, 2010

Another gorgeous morning and Rich said it may hit 80 degrees today. Now that is getting up there for Buenos Aires. That doesn't seem too uncomfortable temperature wise, but if the humidity kicks in it could be on the edge of feeling quite hot. And then there are the mosquitos to worry about. Rich wonders when they will be born. Not looking forward to that day!

To get organized today, I started making a list of what I needed to do and it was overwhelming me. I thought I was accomplishing a lot these past few days, but there is so much to do in this job. One thing stressing me is that I need to work on the training manual I am putting together for Sister Schoeny. It isn't where I want it to be yet, so I may have to spend some late nights at the office.

Elder Kroff went to the bank, paid some rents, and later in the afternoon read some of his book on his iPhone while waiting for me to get ready to go home. I wish I could give him some of my work. Hmmm, that's a thought.

Elders Paz, Peterson, and Mamani (Perú) surround the eldest elder in the office. They, and the other 158 missionaries, all love Elder Kroff. Wonder if it's because he gives them money??

Elder Peterson got a call from Bonpland saying they had a new car for the President and when the old car is brought in they will switch it for the new. So since he had to drive Elder Paz up to the Capital to handle a contract for an apartment, he decided to take the President's car and bring a new one back. Can't wait to see what it looks like.

We left between 4:00 and 4:30 today because Rich was leaving at 5:30 to meet Ezequiel Garcia to go hometeaching. We ate some Sunday left overs for dinner, and had the dishes done by 5:20. After he left, I ironed some shirts and then got busy updating the blog.

New on their hometeaching route is the familia Saracho. Gabriel and Blanca are in our Sunday School marriage class. At home tonight for their visit were Blanca seated with little Aracelli on her lap and other daughters Florencia and Luz. Standing is Marcelo who is the boyfriend of Daiana and they have just moved in with the Sarachos. Daiana is Gabriel's sister. An uncle, Tio Raul, is standing by Elder Kroff and Gabriel. The Saracho's have invited us to their home next Monday for dinner and FHE. That should be fun.
