How is it going?

Bob and I are really enjoying this mission. Traveling to the archives every day is a new adventure and we never know what is going to happen. We continue to get to know David our leader. David is a wonderful, dedicated and truly wonderful person. He has the laugh that is contagious and reminds me of a teddy bear.  He has a loyalty to this work that is spiritual in nature. Knowing this man a great blessing in our lives.

Alan, whom Bob and I call our guardian angel, is also wonderful. Alan has been studying graph design and photography at college and is a natural for taking photographs here at the archives. Alan is a 26 and protects me when I am taking pictures. He and Bob have to scout the area out to make sure no one will steal my camera. 

We are attending the La Molina Viejo Ward. It is a very small ward. The missionary told us that most members in the ward couldn’t walk to the ward because it is too far away. Even by bus or taxi it is too expensive for many members to attend. Bob and I are support missionaries on Sunday only. Our missionary assignment is the archives at this time.

Our P-Day is Saturday, which works out well with Jim's Family. Jim has Saturday off and can take us shopping. The church we are assigned to is three house’s down from Jim's residence. Jim’s family attends a ward where 50 percent of the members are American. The kids also have English speaking members to attend Young Men’s and Seminary with.

After church on Sundays, we walk over to Jim’s house and have Sunday dinner and see Cher and the Boys. Jim loves to cook and does Sunday barbeques. I try to bring desert and rice or vegetables.
