We now have a phone line and internet! So I spent the last hour checking email and all the kids blogs. Pretty soon we'll have pictures to share. We have gone to the office a few days and done some work there learning how things are done here. The president and the assistants have been gone to zone conferences. We will find out more what we will be doing when the president gets back in a few days. We went to church yesterday in the San Fernando branch with the office elders. Everyone asks how we feel about being here. I'm not sure what to say. We are happy to be here, a little overwhelmed and hoping we can be of service to the mission. Tomorrow we will go shopping with the Torgersons. We hope we can find some of the things we think we need. Actually we can function as we are since I did find hot pads at a nearby grocery store--a small store, but bigger than the one we pass on the way to the office. Tomorrow is Sister Torgerson's birthday so I would like to find something for it. Maybe we should try a panderia (bakery). The office elders are planning supper--hot dogs completos. I think that means with "the works".
