Hurry up and wait...or a day behind and a peso short...

There are just not enough hours in our days.

We wake up tired and fall into bed exhausted (and it isn't always our own bed!)

We try to keep up with all the missionary needs,

all the district needs,

all the stake invitations,

and our family far away.

We always feel like we are behind...

and thus is my excuse for not having posted on this blog for a month.

Here are a few of the things that have occurred 

(with no pictures to show for the 191 interviews that took place at an average of 15 mins a piece, in 6 diferent cities...you do the math)
