Tuesday December 28

 

The people here use these mossy looking plants at Christmas to make wreaths and such. Anyway I was up and finally got to go for my solo walk again. It was really windy, but is 66 degrees. While walking I was very warm qnd passed most people in. Layers and wearing neck scarves and even gloves. We had district meeting so while we were out we drove down to a souvenir shop so I could buy a nativity set grandma wanted for a late Christmas present. One wall of the shop had an old black and white mural of the harbor area many years ago.

There has been a lot of changes. We had district meeting and then we went home while the elders took the car hopefully for the last time. I cooked and cleaned,. The repair man came and we sort of have hot water. We need to have the landlord fix the vent pipe different so the flame doesn’t blow out. We next had a lesson at the church. We came home and fed everyone soup made from the leftovers from the food cooked in the volcano. We are headed for some more rain and with the one elder being transferred in 2 days not as much will be happening. During this time of holidays and chaos sometimes the blog will suffer. Hunter called his district is in quarantine as one tested positive for Covid. Got to be tough. Luckily he gets to call us any time he wants while we are missionaries also. I hope grandma can help him endure as I don’t always have the best advice. There is a senior couple on the other acorean. Island. They don’t have a car and think it’s exciting to walk everywhere. The husband served here in Portugal and is one or two years younger than us. They seem better prepared and having a better attitude than me. A couple of pictures from yesterday.

Well not much exciting today but we did get things done. We love you all.
