We're home for lunch--this may look like a siesta- (it isn't) but it is much earned. Elder Ford says he's never driven in such terrible traffic as he's having to navigate here. It's exhausting! Congestion is a way of life here in this city, the oldest in this hemisphere. Today he went to the post office, customs, and to get the air conditioner fixed in our car. He picked up all the letters (post office) and packages (customs) for all the missionaries in our mission. It took several hours. The missionaries pay a fee for all incoming mail except FedEx and UPS Express mail. We also handle all the outgoing mail for all missionaries--keeping track of all these costs for each missionary is part of my job.
Oh, it looks beautiful! Wow! The apartment was furnished?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes. That is why it is so expensive, we think. We looked for something less expensive, but they were unfurnished so it didn't make any sense to move.
ReplyDeleteOh dear! How will you pay for the letter I sent you with your checks in it if you have to pay for it before you can open it!! haha. I hope that is not how it works. :) And Rose is right. That apartment looks amazing!!
ReplyDeleteI posted a comment to you that flew away. Computers!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you made it there safe and sound.
Glad to see you made it! Your place looks fabulous. Maybe we WILL come visit!
ReplyDeleteI would love to be a missionary who keeps track of costs... Math and I have a thing going!
ReplyDeleteI like the look of that short sleeve shirt! We're getting snow tonight.
ReplyDeleteLooks nice. Trying to grow a new avocado tree already will help it feel like home.
