Planeta Came for P-day

Zona Planeta came for p-day.  I forgot to take a group picture. The Elders went down and played soccer and tennis while the Hermanas enjoyed the a/c and talked to their families and napped.  After lunch we had a big game of Spoons and I won.  Then I played Hitster with some of the Elders. 

Elder Tatlow and Elder Wolff had to come to San Pedro from Saba and Sonaguera for Migration. They talked me in to letting them come to the house for p-day with Planeta and then into staying the night at the house because migration is right by the mission home.  It was fun to have them.  We had burgers for dinner and visited and laughed a lot.

Trip to Olanchito

We left Friday to drive to Olanchito for Stake Conference and to visit with the missionaries out there.  We drove the southern route again through Yoro. 

We saw the Elders in Santa Rita teaching a lesson. We weren't planning on stopping and seeing them, but we just happened to see them teaching a lesson at house along the way so we stopped to say hello.

We also stopped to say hello to the Elders in El Negrito.  We had something we needed to give to Elder Videa.

We got to Olanchito and checked into our hotel. Later that evening we both went out with missionaries in Coyoles. I went out with Elder McDowell and Elder Villasenor and President went out with Elder Garcia Vega and Elder Castillo.

Saturday afternoon we went up to the river.  It was so low.  It is probably a good swimming hole when there is water in it. 

The wind came up super fast as we were driving back from the river and it blew down this telephone pole as we were driving by.

We spoke in Stake Conference on Sunday.  I still am boycotting Saturday sessions of Stake Conference, but Kirt went and spoke at both of them.
