First P-Day

Monday is preparation day, a day to prepare for the following week -- laundry, shopping, etc.  But for our first, we didn’t get much preparation done. The young missionaries in La Union had planned a visit to Lago Ranco, a lake about 50 kilometers outside of town. The missionaries bought food and we paid only $4.00!  We don't know how that worked out but we ate well.  Los Ramirez (the other senior couple in La Union) and we drove with the elders and the sisters hired a small bus to go to the lake.  (When everyone goes somewhere the young elders and the sisters cannot travel together.) We traveled through some beautiful areas with green fields and campo as far as the eye could see. We stopped at a large beach at the lake where the missionaries played some ball games. We had hamburgers for lunch (much larger than normal because lunch is the main meal of the day) and practiced our Spanish with the missionaries. We didn’t get much else done that day, but we had fun!  All work and no play makes for unhappy missionaries.

Hopefully pictures will be coming.
