ElderGutierrez was at the offices when we got back, and he hadto go to Paysandu, so we told him to go home and pack hisbags. We stayed at the district meeting for 10 minutewsand then we took Elder Gutierrez to catch his bus toPaysandu. We made it back for the last 30 min of districtmeeting. We were stuck in the offices because thefinancers had the car. We answered like 5 calls frommissionaries and house owners who were mad that theyhadnt been paid. Elder Larson came by, and he alwaysmakes my day. Great guy. He didnt have reembolsos, so he did his own because he was an ex financer. We had alesson later with the Salas family. We were really straightup about why count they go to church. We shared a storyfrom John 6 and it was really good. They were reallyreceptive and I hope they complete their promise to go tochurch this week! Then we picked up Elder Finlay and Elder Owen and took them to their new area which isOeste 10. Then we took the APs to their house. One otherthing is Hermana Aragao, who just recently came fromBrazil, just got bit by a dog. She was at the hospital, butbecause she is so new, her name wasnt on the list that thehospital had. I got a call from Hermana Fullmer askingwhat to do. I told her I would just have to talk to the ladyto let her know that Hermana Aragao is a part of ourmission. I was joking with Hermana Fullmer and tellingher that I didnt think I could talk to her. She ended upgiving me a pep talk that made me crack up. I talked to thelady at the hospital and it was no a big deal and HermanaAragao was able to get treated!
