Divide and Conquer

Poor Kirt had to get up early Saturday morning and fly to Roatan. I really didn't want to go, so I stayed home and President Zavala and his wife went with him.  They took some missionaries out to dinner.  Elders Tosca and Fiaese and Hermanas Tucker, Garcia-Beltran, and Hernandez.  He also had branch conference for the Roatan branch and lots of interviews of members and missionaries. 

While I was home, I did tons of medical catch up.  Edgar Montoya who is our mission nurse was out of town while we were in Guatemala so I had to deal with all the medical stuff last week.  Our general secretary made all the appointments and letters of guarantee for me after I did the triage.  We are both so grateful for Edgar.  He is so helpful! I also got to go to the hospital to visit one of our Elders, Elder Raymer who is in the hospital.  Dealing with all the medical stuff is so hard and one of my least favorite parts of the mission. Missionaries are not very good about taking care of their own health, they are horrible at explaining what is wrong with their health and giving a good health history.  Half the time they message you for help, and then don't answer when you send a response back for the request for help.  Its is all just very frustrating. 

Sunday I went to church in Porvenir.  I wanted to check on Hermanas Chay and Griffins.  Elder Beattie and Elder Mills are in that ward too. Elder Beattie was nice and translated for me. After church, I went to the office and visited with the AP's.  They told me about all the awesome exchanges that they did last week while we were in Guatemala.  They took advantage of the fact that we left them the car and went all over the mission to do exchanges with the missionaries.  They gave me reports on how all the missionaries are doing on the other side of the mission.  Then I was driving home, and Elder Raymer called from the hospital and said they wouldn't release him without someone to pick him up.  So I went to the hospital in San Pedro to pick him up.  I drove him and his all the way back out to Progreso.  I got them some Burger King.  Probably not a very Sabbath day activity, but they were starving.  Then I went back to the office.  Since I was still out, I messaged some Hermanas and asked if I could work with them tonight.
