Elder and Sister Vann

1 week to go!  Can you believe it?   This week was rather adventurous. Monday turned out nothing like we anticipated. We went to work at our usual time and after about a half hour later, we took one of the mission vehicles to get an oil change.  Walt has been thinking about getting a truck, and was thinking now might be a good time to look around since almost all trucks here are 4-wheel drive and there are LOTS of trucks here.  We had driven around a little on Sunday; looking at used trucks in used car lots.  None are open are Sunday.  There was one that looked like a good possibility not far from the Tire Rama, where most of the mission vehicle services are done.  We dropped off the mission truck and went to check out this truck for us.  We were looking for one with a shell/cap, so we could camp in it and be able to securely fill it with things to go home (instead of renting a small trailer).  So we gave it a test run.   ...

One of the beautiful wild flowers we saw on Saturday Sorry we are late.  We were having trouble getting the pictures to update from Saturday. Happy Father’s Day to all those fathers out there.  It is not the usual celebration since we are on a mission and the COVID-19 thing as well.  We will be home to celebrate Walt’s birthday with the family though.  It is still hard to believe that in two weeks from today, we will be on our way home to PA.  That leaves us only one more Saturday of adventure here. This week was a busy one for us.  Walt now has to have the missionaries do their own vehicle inspections.  It used to be local Senior Missionaries, but not for now.  He sent out a checklist and then they were to complete it and email it back in.  Of course, there were stragglers that took some prodding to get it done.  Then there was all the things that needed fixed.  There were lots of people without current insurance cards...
