And then there was two.....

Our friends and other companions, Elder and Sister Nope, left last Saturday after only two days notice, and went back home.  The Nopes went through the MTC with us and we even came out on the same plane together, I fully expected them to finish up the whole 18 months with us, however, due to some family problems, they felt it necessary to leave the mission and return home.  We miss them a lot and wish them well where ever they end up, we will miss them a lot. 

Now we are even more grateful for our Mission President and his wife, who are becoming good friends as well as our leaders, if not for them, we would not have any one to "hang" with.  We just got home from going to the movies with them and enjoyed ourselves so much.  They are good company, and very good people.

After the Nope's left, the mission pretty much turned upside down to rearrange and fill the gaps.  Field missionaries had to be called in to work in the office, leaving their companions alone, so they had to be reassigned and it fell like dominoes, everybody, it seemed, switched.  It's been a very busy week.   Then the Nope's apartment had to be cleaned and emptied, some of the other Sister's got a new apartment, so they just moved some of the things over there.  I think everything is starting to settle down a little now and we are all able to take a little break (That is why the movie tonight).

I don't know if other missions have the freedom to do the things we do, like a movie, but it's pretty relaxed here in the middle of no where, our president if very, very good to us and attends to the emotional as well as the Spiritual side of their charges.   We love him for his kindness to us.

We haven't been out much to take many pictures, and even less time to put them on this blog, but we'll try to improve and do better soon.


Thanks to all of you for the support you give us,
Love from Thane and Claudia
