Lincoln Mission October 25-28 2024

Well, it's already p day. It's only been a few days because of the zone conference schedule, so not too much to share. Sorry.

 

Zone pday

On Thursday we all got together in Cartí and were able to catch up, play some good 'ol American football, and eat some delicious food. All the elders in the zone are some of the best guys you'll ever meet. It's so fun to be able to hang out with them and talk about our experiences.

 

Zone conference

On Friday president and the aps arrived and brought ice cream! It was the best tasting thing on earth. It was a miracle they got it out here without it melting too much. We heard some great messages, I had a good interview with president, and we all ate too much food. After eating spam and canned chicken every day, the sandwiches they brought us tasted like a meal from a 5-star restaurant. Hermana Forsberg also made us brownies and cookies which tasted like they were sent directly from heaven. After the conference, president left, and we went around the island doing visits. Everyone loves it because there were 13 elders going around singing and sharing messages on a small island.

 

Boat problems

The next day a boat was supposed to come get us at 8:30 am and take us to playon chico. The boat was 4 hours late. It was a boring 4 hours. On the way there the waves got pretty big, which makes it more fun bouncing around. We then had to stay the night in playon chico to wait for another boat. It was supposed to come at 6:30 am so we could get to church. It didn't come. So, we had to find some random guy who could take us to Ukupa. A guy named junior took us in a small, beaten-up boat. The waves are less fun in that boat, and we got soaked on the way there. We ended up missing church... unfortunate. We also couldn't go to the other villages to do Sunday school. Not many things went our way. That's just how life goes.

 

That's basically it. Lots of travels, hanging out with the best elders on earth, and dealing with boat troubles. It's a simple life. Nothing better.
