Noche Blanca



Sorry for not having text. I guess I'm as good at blogging as I am at being a financial secretary. I wrote a very long and spiritual blog about how our week was more righteous than yours but somehow it got lost in cyberspace just like the rent payments I made this week. I am not dedicated enough to do it all over again. My advice is for you to enjoy the pictures and try to imagine we had the best week ever.

His daughter is the most loyal, kind and patient daughter I have ever seen and I have some sisters that have shown me a very high standard. We will miss her. As we try to wrap things up we have been traveling a...

Didn't get out much

No trips to the airport this week. In fact we haven't bee to La Caleta in 3 weeks now. We both miss it but we know where it is and will find a chance to return soon. I wish I could say that the work in the office has become easy and routine and that we have everything mastered. Well it continues to be challenging but our mistakes seem to be fewer. I feel a little jealous of Hermana Borup because she has had a personal assistant all week. The Elder who hurt his knee has been transferred temporarily to the office to give his knee a chance to heal. It just so happens that he is very good with computer skills and has helped Hermana Borup actually get ahead in her work. To be honest she has been a little gloating and likes to rub it in. However I am used to this behavior from her from the many triathlons I have raced with her and only have won one of those. She likes to let me know my place.  Speaking of the Elder with the hurt knee, He is getting better every day and is optimist...
