Happy Conference, Octoberblest

We let another week slip by without a post, so this post might be a little overload.  We have had a very busy two weeks, so here goes ...

Two weeks ago we ventured into the mountains again to visit the Saints in Pisapungan.  We hadn't been there in a few months, and with all of the rain since the last time we were there, the road was barely passable--and that was after a service project the day before by 50 priesthood brethren to work on the road so people could get in and out.  We rode in the Burgos branch president's pickup truck, and thank heavens he is a skilled driver.  We made it in and out without incident.  Elder Whiting had bought a pair of dress shoes made of rubber for the trip, not wanting to ruin his good shoes in the event we had to walk through water or mud.  They did the trick, even if they made his feet sweat like crazy.  As we got ready to leave, the villagers brought a huge lizard (Komodo Dragon?), and threw it into the bed of the truck where Elder Whiting was riding. It thrashed around quite a bit, but the had wired its mouth shut and tied up its legs--it was going to be someone's supper.

We spent a couple of days these past two weeks on the house in Mu
