Day 63 - Wednesday, August 31, 2016

  

Last week we lived out of suitcases for 4 days.  Sunday came along and we awoke very early to make our way over the mountain to Baler.  There are four small branches in Baler. We hit three of them that day.  This great group of saints is in San Luis.  They meet in a house that has been remodeled so they hold church here.  One room is the chapel, another is the primary.  There is an office for the Branch President in another room and a kitchen area for additional classes.  A necessity is the flushing CR.  It was fun to see the Young Women sitting on the patio learning about personal progress.  The Young Women shared the theme with me and I taught them some jingles about rain.  Not much English is spoken in Baler so people mostly stare at me and nod their heads.  If they don't understand, they hold their finger under their nose which means they're having a nose bleed.  I just remind everyone there are no nose bleeds around me and we work at understanding each other.  It was a great day in Baler but we were sure glad to get back to the mission home.
