Hot and Muggy

The rain stopped.  It is sunny and hot.  And muggy.

We are well.  We have been teaching some basic computer [skills] to the branch clerk and some members so they can do their jobs. We are helping some members with papers to get married. Nothing moves fast here.
It took 12 minutes to get on line at 12 kbits per second. We hope you get this [email].

There is a lot of dengue in Urbiztondo.  If they would drain some of the bogs it would not be so bad. We are 15 miles away in Aguilar.  No swamps here. We put out a bug zapper. It works.
[Sister Stamps] got a new washing machine. It works well enough. She is happier now. Tomorrow we will take some sisters to a zone conference. Now while things are quiet, we are figuring out organization problems. These are the routine items that all leaders get.

The car we have is a three year old Toyota. It runs pretty good. [President Stamps has] only put four dents in it  and some scratches on the front bumper when we turned around once. We once got stuck on a tree root. Life is different here.  When we got the car serviced, they had to bolt the bumper back on. It looks better now.

[Sister Stamps] is complaining to the globe internet people again.  Maybe this will work this time. We will get back to all when we can.
