Week 3 fifth post

Sunday, Jan. 8^th: We all met at 8:45am and a bus came and picked us up. (All 26 temple missionaries) We then road for about 40 min. to a ward house in the west part of the city. We sang two songs and two of the Latin missionaries spoke along with Pres. Jackman and Pres. Crayk. It was a very good meeting. Pres. Crayk told that ward that for the rest of Jan. Feb. and March he would open the Temple for their ward at 7:00am on Saturdays. So I guess we will be starting a little bit earlier on Saturdays from now on.

Monday, Jan. 9^th: The first thing we did was go the Consulate to get the power of attorney signed for James. We had an appointment for 9:00am. When we got to the window the man named Mr. Norman told us that he did not think that they would accept the document because it said Dec. 2011. He suggested that we have it retyped with Jan. 2012. So we went back to the apartment and mom retyped it. I realized that I had left my debit card in an ATM that I had used on the way to the consulate. So we got the doc printed and took off to see if we could get the card. Nope it was gone. So mom went on the consulate and I went back to call and cancel our cards. The notary cost $50.00 US Dollars. Bad day so far don’t you think. After mom got back to the apartment,the Cardons (Bob and Tammy) and mom and I took a taxi to the center of the city to go see an old convent.

We ended the day with a Family Home Evening with all the temple missionaries. It was a going away party for 2 of the Latin missionary couples who will be leaving in about a week. It ended up a great day. Bad start buy great overall.
